The Masoretic text places Joel between Hosea and Amos ( the order inherited by the Tanakh and Old Testament ), while the Septuagint order is Hosea – Amos – Micah – Joel – Obadiah – Jonah.

Jeroboam's reign was also the period of the prophets Hosea, Joel, Jonah and Amos, all of whom condemned the materialism and selfishness of the Israelite elite of their day: " Woe unto those who lie upon beds of ivory ... eat lambs from the flock and calves ... sing idle songs ..." The book of Kings, written a century later condemns Jeroboam for doing " evil in the eyes of the Lord ", meaning both the oppression of the poor and his continuing support of the cult centres of Dan and Bethel, in opposition to the temple in Jerusalem.

His name occurs in the Old Testament only in 2 Kings 13: 13 ; 14: 16, 23, 27, 28, 29 ; 15: 1, 8 ; 1 Chronicles 5: 17 ; Hosea 1: 1 ; and Amos 1: 1 ; 7: 9, 10, 11.

Shabbat is also described by the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, and Nehemiah.

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.

First come those prophets dated to the early Assyrian period: Hosea, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah ; Joel is undated, but it was possibly placed before Amos because parts of a verse near the end of Joel ( 3. 16 in Hebrew ) and one near the beginning of Amos ( 1. 2 ) are identical.

This notion predates both Christianity and the Greek philosophers, appearing first in the eighth-century BC Hebrew prophets, Amos, Hosea, Micah and Isaiah.

Looking at the oracles in Amos, Hosea, First Isaiah, and Jeremiah gives a clear sense of how messages of imminent punishment develop into the later proto-apocalyptic literature, and eventually into the thoroughly apocalyptic literature of Daniel 7-12.

It is considered by some that this stone circle was the ( unnamed ) religious sanctuary that was severely condemned by the Book of Amos ( Amos 4: 4, 5: 5 ) and Book of Hosea ( Hosea 4: 15 )

Scholars differ over how much of the book is from Jeremiah himself and how much from later disciples, but the French scholar Thomas Romer has recently identified two Deuteronomistic " redactions " ( editings ) of the book of Jeremiah some time before the end of the Exile ( pre-539 BCE ) – a process which also involved the prophetic books of Amos and Hosea.

The earliest mentions are in the prophets Amos ( possibly ) and Hosea ( certainly ), both active in 8th century BCE Israel ; in contrast Proto-Isaiah and Micah, both active in Judah at much the same time, never do ; it thus seems reasonable to conclude that the Exodus tradition was important in the northern kingdom in the 8th century, but not in Judah.

For example the literary prophets Isaiah, Amos, Habakkuk, Joel, Micah, Obadiah, Zechariah, and Zephaniah, belonged to the tribe.

Amos Bronson Alcott ( November 29, 1799 – March 4, 1888 ) was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer.

A native New Englander, Amos Bronson Alcott was born in Wolcott, Connecticut ( only recently renamed from " Farmingbury ") on November 29, 1799.

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.

Amos also made it a point that before his calling he was a simple husbandman and that he was not a " professional " prophet of the prophetic guild.

There are some differing opinions as to the location of the Tekoa Amos was presumably from.

It is believed by most that Amos was a southern farmer, called by God to deliver his prophetic message in the North.

However, some believe that Amos was actually from a Tekoa in the North, near Galilee.

They believe that it is more probable that Amos was from the North because it has conditions more suitable for the cultivation of sycamore figs than the Tekoa of the South.

However, Amos came to tell the people that " the Day of the LORD " was coming soon and that it meant divine judgment and justice for their own iniquity.

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 ).

An Interim Government of National Unity ( IGNU ) was formed in Gambia under the auspices of ECOWAS in October 1990 and Dr. Amos Sawyer became President.
