Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Prophetical Books, including the writings of the 4 Major Prophets,
from Isaiah to Daniel, and the 12 Minor Prophets from Hosea to Malachi.

30. The Book of Prophet Amos, Chapters 1-9.
Among the "writing" prophets Amos was the first of a new school, for, like Elijah and John the Bapist, he denounced sin with rustic boldness. A shepherd and native of Judah, he was called by God to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam 2 (786-746 B.C.). Sparing no one, the prophet fearlessly announced the impending judgement of God. Altough the dominant note of the book is judgement, the final words promise the restoration of a righteous remnant.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
