In this week's episode, I discuss the tale of Amos, the prophet and Amaziah, the priest.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew!
Today, I come back to you with a new Bible tale.
It is the story of Amaziah and Amos, which is based on a text from the Latter Prophets, specifically Amos 7, which is part of the Book of the Twelve.
The tale starts with the prophet, Amos, having a vision. A scary vision. One of God judging Israel, because the people of Israel were not living up to their covenant with God.
Then comes a second vision, then a third.
What did these visions mean? And what's Amaziah's role in all of this?
I answer both these questions in today's episode, so tune in now!
