Ὁ Προφήτης Ἀμὼς καταγόταν ἀπὸ τὴν πόλη Θεκουὲ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἡ ὁποία ἔκειτο νοτιοανατολικὰ τῆς Βηθλεέμ, καὶ ἤκμασε στὴν ἱερὴ πόλη Βαιθήλ, κοντὰ στὴ Σαμάρεια, κατὰ τοὺς χρόνους τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ Ἱεροβοὰμ Β’ (784 – 746 π.Χ.). Ἦταν βοσκὸς καὶ καλλιεργητὴς συκομορέων καὶ ἀπὸ τὴν ἐργασία αὐτὴ ἐκλήθηκε ἀπ’ εὐθείας ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ στὸ προφητικὸ ἀξίωμα, ὡς ὁ ἴδιος ἀναφέρει στὸ ὁμώνυμο βιβλίο τῆς Παλαιᾶς Διαθήκης: «Οὐκ ἤμην προφήτης ἐγὼ οὐδὲ υἱὸς προφήτου, ἀλλ’ ἢ αἰπόλος ἤμην καὶ κνίζων συκάμινα· καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με Κύριος ἐκ τῶν προβάτων καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· βάδιζε προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ». Ἀναδείχθηκε ἔτσι ἕνας ἀπὸ τοὺς σπουδαιότερους ἐλάσσονες Προφῆτες.If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
