According to the book of Amos 2:6-16(NKJV), his message from God was their sins against God. Their ruthless oppression of the poor,theirunbridled profanation of their religion, and the contrasted position of the Isrealites. Please read discussion also.
The book of Amos is written by the prophet Amos, he was a herdsmen before god called him.
The prophet was Amos. He was called by God to deliver a message of social justice to the people of Israel, warning them of the consequences of their unjust practices and the impending destruction of their kingdom if they did not change their ways.
Amos described the consequences that would come on people who had turned their backs on God. Amos’ warnings were not meant only for his day, but also for today.
All of these: Luke was a doctor, Peter was a fisherman, and there were many prophets to whom God gave His word to write. Moses, Jeremiah, Habbakuk, Amos, Obadiah, Haggai, etc.
Amos in the bible ,was a herdsmen before god called him.
The prophets gift are that he could tell man the message of god told to the prophet.
It is the prophet Amos.
It challenged the people because they had forgotten about the one true God.
Amos became a prophet of God because God called him to prophesy against the Northern kingdom of Israel and also against the Southern Kingdom of Judah. When God calls on a person to do something it is in their interest to do it. Do you remember the story of Jonah and the "great Fish? Well, Jonah could have avoided this and other problems if only he had heeded God's call. Amos was a shepherd type person and not even trained in the prophets school, but God saw fit to use him.
It's the same main message conveyed by each prophet, which is to believe in the oneness of God & that He is the Creator of all, the only one true god who deserves being worshiped.
Muhammad _________________________________________________________________ Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). However, prophet Muhammad is a God prophet to convey the message of God to all people. The message is primarily to worship Allah 9or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism) as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no associate, no companion, and no equivalence. The founder of Islam is God and not any prophet. Refer to question below.
No I don't think so. God's covenant was with the nation of Israel. Amos' message to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was they were not keeping their part of God's covenant with them.
