Prophet Amos was an ancient Hebrew prophet who lived in the 8th century BCE. He is known for his strong messages about social justice and the need for moral integrity among the people of Israel. Amos was a shepherd and a fig farmer from the southern kingdom of Judah, but he delivered his prophecies in the northern kingdom of Israel. His teachings are recorded in the Book of Amos in the Hebrew Bible. Amos emphasized that true worship of God must be accompanied by ethical behavior, particularly in caring for the poor and oppressed. His warnings about impending judgment highlight the consequences of injustice and corruption in society.
