Amos uses the picture of something barely rescued from a fire—a firebrand pulled from burning. Jude tells believers to rescue people by “pulling them out of the fire.” The shared picture is urgent rescue: someone is in real danger and must be snatched away before destruction overtakes them.

Famine, failed crops, pestilence, defeat, and desolation in Amos 4 closely fit the escalating covenant-warning pattern of Leviticus 26. Amos interprets Israel’s repeated calamities from inside the Torah’s covenant categories.

Amos’s drought, blight, pestilence, military loss, and threatened exile echo the covenant curses catalogued in Deuteronomy 28. The connection is cumulative rather than a single quotation.

Amos compares surviving Israel to “a firebrand plucked out of the burning”; Zechariah later calls Jerusalem “a brand plucked out of the fire.” The distinctive rescue-from-fire image strongly links the prophetic texts.
