Stories of the Prophets: Called and Sent- Prophet Amos 1/5, Sr. Leticia

// Passages:
“To Amos himself, Amaziah said, 'Go away, seer, take yourself off to Judah, earn your living there, and there you can prophesy! But never again will you prophesy at Bethel, for this is a royal sanctuary, a national temple.'
'I am not a prophet,' Amos replied to Amaziah, 'nor do I belong to a prophetic brotherhood. I am merely a herdsman and dresser of sycamore figs. But Yahweh took me as I followed the flock, and Yahweh said to me, "Go and prophesy to my people Israel.“
Amos 7:12-15

“The days are coming—declares the Lord Yahweh—when I shall send a famine on the country, not hunger for food, not thirst for water, but famine for hearing Yahweh's word. People will stagger from sea to sea, wander from the north to the east, searching for Yahweh's word, but will not find it.”
Amos 8:11-12

Does the trumpet sound in the city without the people being alarmed?
No, indeed, Lord Yahweh does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants, the prophets.
The lion roars: who is not afraid? Lord Yahweh has spoken: who will not prophesy?”
Amos 3:7-8
