prophet amos?

Question

what does he condemn?

Answer 1

The message of this book is basically to declare the impartiality of God. God plays no favorites. The word of Amos is that we are dealing with a God of righteousness who will not compromise in His ways, and yet, God is a God of patience and of love. Amos is called the prophet of social justice, the man who demanded that man treat their fellow-man rightly. In short he condemns people and nations who treat others like crap. The prophet's word is that because we are people of God, this does not mean that God's word does not sit in judgment on the wrong in our lives.

Answer 2

Jehovah shows Amos a basket of summer fruit. He condemns Israel’s oppression of the poor and swears “by the Superiority of Jacob” that they will have to mourn on account of their bad works. “‘Look! There are days coming,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘and I will send a famine into the land, a famine, not for bread, and a thirst, not for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah.’” (8:7, 11) They will fall to rise up no more. Whether they dig down into Sheol or climb up to the heavens, Jehovah’s own hand will take them. The sinners of his people will die by the sword. Then, a glorious promise! “In that day I shall raise up the booth of David that is fallen, and I shall certainly repair their breaches. . . . I shall certainly build it up as in the days of long ago.” (9:11) So prosperous will the regathered captives become that the plowman will overtake the harvester before he can gather in his bumper crops. Permanent will be these blessings from Jehovah!
