It was mentioned as another prophetic book primarily focused on the northern kingdom of Israel, conveying a similar message to Hosea regarding God's faithfulness amidst the Israelites' infidelity and ultimate exile.
And Amos has a similar message.
Episode: Day 181: Jonah and the Whale (2022)
The book of Amos was mentioned in contrast to the book of Jonah as Amos was a true prophet who spoke against King Jeroboam II, whereas Jonah affirmed his actions.
And then Amos, we are heard this a couple days ago.
This is what I was thinking of a couple days ago in Amos chapter six.
Amos is the true prophet speaking words against Jeroboam.
Hopefully we're prophets like Amos.
Again, that contrasting when they're talking to Jeroboam, Jonah tells Jeroboam what he wants to hear and Amos tells Jeroboam what he needs to hear.
Episode: Day 180: Giving Time to God (2022)
The podcast concluded the book of Amos, discussing the prophet's warnings to Israel about their unfaithfulness and the consequences if they did not repent, ultimately ending with a message of restoration and hope.
And we're also praying Psalm 124.
So we've concluded the book of the prophet Amos.
Remember Amos is preaching to all the nations, he goes that whole circle around Israel, around Judah.
He preaches against Judah and tells them where they need to come back to the Lord. But here he is speaking specifically to Israel, the Northern nation of Israel.
Episode: Day 178: Called Back (2022)
It was discussed as a book of prophecy written roughly 50 years after Jehu, where Amos calls various nations back to the Lord and critiques the injustices of Judah and Israel.
We're also diving from Hosea into Amos, the new prophet Amos. Well, not new now, but new to us today. Amos chapters 1, 2 and 3.
If you want to download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, that way you would have known that Amos was sneaking up on us today on day 178.
The Book of Amos chapter 1 Judgment on Israel's Neighbors The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
And he said, The Lord roars from Zion and utters his voice from Jerusalem. The pastors of the shepherds mourn and the top of Carmel withers.
So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel and for four I will not revoke the punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes.
