AMOS 1 - CHANGE - SIS DONNA TARUN - 630PM EVENING SERVICE
The document provides background on the prophet Amos, who prophesied in the late 8th century BC. Amos came from the village of Tekoa and worked as a shepherd. He delivered a message of judgment and condemnation against Israel and surrounding nations for their sins, including social injustice, idolatry, and cruelty. Amos warned that God would bring destruction through military invasions as punishment. The document outlines the specific sins and judgments against nations like Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah, and ultimately Israel itself, which was conquered by Assyria. It calls the people to repent and change their ways in light of God's coming judgment.
