Despite being from the southern kingdom of Judah Amos ' prophetic message was aimed at the Northern Kingdom of Israel, particularly the cities of Samaria and Bethel.

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.

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 dated his prophecy to " two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel " ( Amos 1: 1, NIV ).

Amos says that the earthquake was in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and Jeroboam ( II ), son of Jehoash king of Israel.

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.

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

Amos, an older contemporary of Hosea and Isaiah, was active c. 750 BC during the reign of Jeroboam II, making the Book of Amos the first biblical prophetic book written.

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

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.

Most scholars believe that Amos gave his message in the autumn of 750 BC or 749 BC.

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.

Scholars in support of the idea of Amos being from the North also say it makes more sense because of Amaziah's accusation of conspiracy found in chapter seven, verse 10.
