Amos, meaning "Burden Bearer," came from a town called Tekoa, ten miles south of Jerusalem. He was a Shepherd and one who tended sycamore fig trees. Amos was called to speak God's messages to the northern kingdom of Israel. His ministry was during the reign of king Uzziah of Judah and Jeroboam 2 of Israel. There was prosperity and it was a time when the people followed after idols. The prophecies were speaking of coming judgements because God's people broke their covenant with the LORD.
