Charles Spurgeon Commentary Amos 6:3

"-ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;" — Amos 6:3 (ASV)

You that put far away the evil day,—

You who say, "There is time enough yet. Let us see a little more of life; why need we be in a hurry to seek salvation?" You that put far away the evil day,—

And cause the seat of violence to come near;

For, when men try to postpone thoughts about "the judgment" which is to follow "after death," they are generally the more eager to indulge in sin. They say, "There is time enough yet," because they want a longer period to get greater indulgence in sinful ways. The Lord says "Woe" to all such people as these.
