Jan 25, 2013 · So, we turn to Acts 15:1–21 to see how the Apostles explain the fulfillment of Amos 9:11–15. The most significant issue the church faced in its earliest days was the place of Gentiles in the new covenant, particularly the Gentiles' relationship to the Mosaic law.

In Amos 1:1 Amos identifies himself as coming from “among the sheepherders from Tekoah.” Tekoah was a town surrounded by rich pasture land, so it is not surprising that he would be a sheepherder. Less understood, however, was that he herded a special breed of sheep. The word translated “sheepherders” (NASB) or “herdsmen” (KJV) is nokdim, who owned ...
God sent Amos to the northern House of Israel, where he preached the gospel of repentance. If anyone listened to him, we have no record of it.

May 9, 2024 · Brief Summary: Amos can see that beneath Israel’s external prosperity and power, internally the nation is corrupt to the core. The sins for which Amos chastens the people are extensive: neglect of God’s Word, idolatry, pagan worship, greed, corrupted leadership, and oppression of the poor.
