Amos

Amos pronounces judgment on Israel's enemies, before delivering the main burden of judgment against Israel herself. His courageous and unusually stern prophesy was issued primarily at Bethel, the seat of idolatry in the northern kingdom. He attacks Satan's stronghold, Bethel, and when he is opposed by the idolatrous priest, Amaziah, becomes even bolder in his preaching. Amos was God's messenger to call the nation Israel to become responsible and accountable to the national sins she had committed against God.
