Amos The Prophet

Amos the Prophet

Russell Kemp—January 20, 2024 

Today I really do want to talk about Amos. Not Amos Moses, just Amos the prophet who was not actually a prophet.

Amos 1:1: “The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa…”

Amos 7:14: “Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, ‘I was no prophet, nor was I a prophet’s son… [but he goes on to describe who he really was] ….But I was a shepherd and a gatherer of fruit from sycamore trees.’”

So, he basically was a shepherd and a farmer. However, he was no ordinary farmer, as we can tell by his writings. He was obviously well-educated. He lived in Tekoa in the highlands of Judah, but he did have a prophetic message to be delivered to Israel!
