Amos (Click here to download or print the lesson)

"Amos, a Jew, but prophesying in the northern kingdom, exercised his ministry during the reign of Jeroboam II, an able but idolatrous king who brougth his kingdom to the zenith of its power.  Nothing could seem more improbable than the fulfilment of Amos' warnings; yet within fifty years the kingdom was utterly destroyed.  The vision of Amos is, however, wider than the northern kingdom, including the whole house of Jacob."  (Reference: The Scofield Reference Bible)
