Amos' and Jonah's lives overlapped. They both lived and prophesied during the reign of Jeroboam II in Israel. From Amos we can learn a lot about what was going on in Israel at the time. Read as many of these passages in Amos as you can. Jot down the behaviors that Amos spoke against and what he prophesied would happen if the people didn't change their behavior. If you don't have time to read them all, read the ones in italics.
- Amos 2:6-8
- Amos 3:10-11, 13-15
- Amos 4:1-3
- Amos 5:6-7, 10-12
- Amos 6:1-8, 14
- Amos 7:7-17
- Amos 8:4-6
What did Amos tell the Israelites about their behavior?
What did he say the consequences of that behavior would be if it didn't change?
If King Jeroboam and the citizens of Israel had voted for their favorite prophet, who would have won--Jonah or Amos?
