Describe the call of Amos .
Prophet Amos was born in a village called Tekoa in Judah, the southern kingdom. Before his call,
Amos was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore trees. He was not a professional prophet. But
God called him to be a prophet. He received his call in form of a vision around 758 BC. Amos
responded to God’s call with obedience. He felt a deep compulsion to prophesy (Amos 3:8). God
directed him to give his message to the people of Israel, the northern kingdom (Amos 7:15). He
was asked to speak the will of Yahweh. He was also to fore tell punishment if Israelites did not
repent their sins. His message was opposed, and challenged by Amaziah the priest of Bethel.
