The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

In the Bible, chapter three in the book of Amos starts with several questions that have unstated, but obvious, answers.

It gets to verse eight and says:

A lion has roared!
Who will not fear?  (A very natural reaction, with yet another obvious answer)
The Lord God has spoken!
Who can but prophesy?  (Apparently, in the context of this chapter, a very natural response with an obvious answer)

So, if you hear the voice of the Lord God, guess what you will do.  It will be a very natural response, and it's obvious.

Oh, but you say, "Not me."  Well, we'll see.

In Joel chapter two, verse 28 it says:

“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.

"on all flesh" includes you, doesn't it?

Don't be afraid.  Really, this is exciting!
