| | Book of Amos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Amos was a prophet during the reign of Jeroboam ben Joash (Jeroboam II), ruler of Israel from 793 BCE to 753 BCE, 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 Yahweh. | | | 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. |

| | Amos is a self-identified feminist, and the book consciously addresses women's spirituality and offers numerous practical examples of how Amos has applied her own female-centered belief system throughout her life. | | | Amos also reveals a great deal about her personal history and family influences, from the maternal grandfather who shared rich Cherokee stories with her to the paternal grandmother who sought to control Amos' behavior through religion. | | | Like Jung and Scottish novelist Muriel Spark, Amos is unapologetic in her belief that the human race is profoundly rooted in, and a continuous reflection and manifestation of, the Divine. |

| | A commentary on the Biblical Book of Amos |
| | YHWH specifically states the problem in the first verse to be that Amaziah had commanded Amos not to fulfil His calling before going on to give the consequence of the declaration as being judgment (the ‘therefore’ that sits at the opening of Amos 7:17 shows that this stands as the consequence of the previous verse). | | | This section (Amos 7:1-8:3) had begun with Amos standing before God and averting the outpouring of specific judgments against Israel, but it concludes with the inevitability of destruction and the wide scale deaths of the inhabitants of the nation. | | | This short three verse vision is one of the more ‘famous’ sayings from the Book of Amos which the RSV translates in the traditional way of seeing YHWH standing with a plumb line in His hand, beside a wall that has also been built with a plumb line (Amos 7:7). |
