Amos 3:7

A similar inevitable connection exists between two other events. God does nothing to His people unless He first warns them through one of His prophets (cf. Psalms 25:14; Jeremiah 23:18; Jeremiah 23:22). [Note: For a list of examples of God doing this, see ibid., pp. 1433-34.] Here God meant that He would do nothing by way of covenant-lawsuit judgment without first telling His people. Obviously God does many things without giving a special revelation to His people that He will do them.
