Amos the prophet was against idol worship , and warned Israel many times like the prophets did.
Amos criticizes the worship that is hypocritical, focused only on outward acts rather than inner faith, and that is disconnected from justice and righteousness in society. He rebukes those who participate in religious rituals while neglecting the needs of the marginalized and oppressed.
Major themes in Amos' preaching include social justice, the consequences of sin and injustice, warnings of impending judgment from God, the importance of true worship and sincerity in following God, and the call for repentance and moral renewal.
From the words of Amos and Hosea, we can learn about the importance of social justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Their messages highlight the need to care for the marginalized, seek repentance for wrongdoing, and remain faithful to God despite challenges. These lessons are relevant today in promoting compassion, accountability, and spiritual growth in our communities.
