Amos, Book Of:
The book of the prophecies of Amos seems to be divided into four principal portions closely connected together.
(1). From 1:1 to 2:3 he denounces the sins of the nations bordering on Israel and Judah.
(2). From 2:4 to 6:14 he describes the state of those two kingdoms, especially, the former.
(3). From 7:1 to 9:10 he relates his visit to Bethel, and sketches the impending punishment of Israel. At last he promises blessings. The chief peculiarity of the style consists in the number of allusions to natural objects and agricultural occupations, as might be expected from the early life of the author.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
