What does the Bible say about Amos?
Amos was a prophet from Tekoa who prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, king of Judah, and Jeroboam, king of Israel (Amo.1.1). He was originally a shepherd and fig grower before being called by God to deliver His message (Amo.7.14-15). Amos prophesied against the sins of Israel, warning them of impending judgment (Amo.7.8; 8.2). His prophecies were met with opposition from Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, who told him to stop prophesying and leave (Amo.7.10-13). However, Amos remained faithful to his calling and continued to proclaim God's word.
