Amos, as one of the Twelve Minor Prophets, evokes imagery of a fiery orator whose central theme is the pursuit of justice and righteousness which possesses significance in both ancient times and today. Amos elevates the concept of justice though human actions to a primacy in the lives of believers who established a covenant with God since the time of Abraham. We shall exegetically explore Amos 5:18-24. He is not a radical, rather Amos prophecies are in the tradition of the oracular style imitative
Amos established a community by having four predictions. These four predictions were one of the most important things for a prophet to know and have the ability to warn people about the future. He served god and did everything that god told him to do. Amos quoted "You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins."

Introduction Myriad decisions affront us every day. Each decision is decomposable into sub-decisions.
