Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern kingdom of Israel.

Amos was a prophet during the reign of Jeroboam ben Joash ( Jeroboam II ), ruler of Israel from 793 BC to 753 BC, and the reign of Uzziah, King of Judah, at a time when both kingdoms ( Israel in the North and Judah in the South ) were peaking in prosperity.

The Book of Amos is set in a time when the people of Israel have reached a low point in their devotion to the God of Israel-the people have become greedy and have stopped following and adhering to their values.

Through Amos, God tells the people that he is going to judge Israel for its sins, and it will be a foreign nation that will enact his judgment.

However, Amos and other prophets include Israel as an enemy of God, as Israel is guilty of injustice toward the innocent, poor, and young women.

Other major ideas in the book of Amos include: social justice and concern for the disadvantaged ; the idea that Israel's covenant with God did not exempt them from accountability for sin ; God is God of all nations ; God is judge of all nations ; God is God of moral righteousness ; God made all people ; God elected Israel and then liberated Israel so that He would be known throughout the world ; election by God means that those elected are responsible to live according to the purposes clearly outlined to them in the covenant ; if God destroys the unjust, a remnant will remain ; and God is free to judge whether to redeem Israel.

So, according to Obadiah there will not remain even a remnant after Edom ’ s judgment ; This is in contrast to Amos 9: 12, where Amos refers to such a remnant, however, it is stated that their possession will be given to Israel.

Some scholars have suggested that Amos ’ s reference to Edom is symbolic of all nations who were once enemies of Israel and not meant to literally mean Edomites in the flesh.

He was victorious over the Syrians ( 13: 4 ; 14: 26, 27 ), conquered Damascus ( 14: 28 ), and extended Israel to its former limits, from " the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain " ( 14: 25 ; Amos 6: 14 ).

The prophets Amos and Hosea write of events during the 8th century kingdom of Israel ; the prophet Jeremiah writes of events preceding and following the fall of Judah ; Ezekiel writes of events during and preceding the exile in Babylon ; and other prophets similarly touch on various periods, usually those in which they write.

While this theory, first propounded by Ernst von Dobschütz and Rudolf Bultmann, is not universally accepted, Amos Wilder writes that, " it is at least clear that there are considerable and sometimes continuous elements in the epistle whose style distinguishes them from that of the author both with respect to poetic structure and syntactic usage.
