A major earthquake occurs in Israel towards the end of the rule of King Jeroboam II. Amos begins his ministry “two years before” this earthquake. The former herdsman and fruit picker is primarily a prophet to Israel, though he also speaks to many nations. His message, except for the last chapter of his book, is one of pure condemnation and judgment. Still, the closing verses of his prophecy rings with hope as he speaks of renewal and restoration. Scriptures referenced include Amos 1:1; Amos 2:4-5; Amos 3:2; Amos 1:13; Amos 2:1, 6-7; Amos 4:12; Amos 5:24; Amos 8:1; and Amos 7:10-17.
