Outline of Amos
Introduction
- He was a Judean shepherd (from Tekoa) with a strong message for Israel who had pagan temples at Bethel
- He traveled to Bethel, preached his message and then returned home
- Uzziah was King of Judah (792-740 BC)
- Jereboam was king of Israel (792-753 BC)
- They formed an alliance together
- 2-3 years after the message given, Jereboam died
- Within space of 30 years, Assyria conquered Israel
Theme: God’s concern for justice
- Jereboam brought prosperity to Israel and new wealth to the upper class. They used their wealth to enlarge their lands and build great houses for themselves
- They violated the rights of the poor, and threw many off their ancestral lands
- This was injust
- Amos called on the leaders of Israel to repent/reform
- If no repentance for their injustice against the poor and weak, God would destroy the nation
