"I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake."
This vision presented to Amos has beam (lintel) and the posts serve as pillar. The idea is the weight of the masonry coming above the door is distributed evenly across the lintel to both sides of walls whether it is of stone masonry or of timber. If lintel represent the heaven the threshold connecting the posts at the doorway denotes the earth. In He.12 we have such a shaking,"Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."(12:26).
Smiting of the lintel of the temple of God is intended to shake the wicked out of the hallowed precincts of the temple, from his presence. "The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it." (Ps.75:3) The Spirit presents the heaven and the earth in such a manner heaven is spread across like carpet so the wicked can be shaken out it as one does with carpets in the spring to be rid of the accumulated dust.It is in this sense God tells Job in the quote. ( Job 38:13)
The Spirit has set the principle while organising the visions, where people places and events are described they shall consist of Jesus Christ since the Bible is the God document, "all things were created by him, and for him:/And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." The reason is simple:"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell."(Col.1:19,15-16) Significance of "I am the door" is as relevant as this quote,"Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."(Ze.13:7) Smite the lintel means 'smite the shepherd'. God shall take care of a remnant, "the little ones" but the sheep shall be scattered. This shall explain the diaspora of Israel as well as the great tribulation. The narrative mode is Min-Max so specific event overarches to latter days.
