The Book of Amos is a prophetic book of the Hebrew Bible, one of the Twelve Minor Prophets.

Amos, however, is the first prophet whose name also serves as the title of the corresponding biblical book in which his story is found.

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

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.

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.

Amos is the first prophet to use the term " the Day of the LORD ".

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.

In the first two visions, Amos is able to convince God not to act out the scenes of discipline presented to him.

In the second set of visions ( 7: 7-9 ) there is no intercession by Amos, and God says that he " will never pass by them again.

The central idea of the book of Amos is that God puts his people on the same level as the surrounding nations-God expects the same purity of them all.

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.

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.

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.
