Hosea and Amos were two prophets from the Hebrew Bible. They were both sent by God to prophesy and deliver messages to the ancient Israelites.
Hosea was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the 8th century BCE. He was commanded by God to marry an unfaithful woman named Gomer, which symbolized Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Through his marriage and personal experiences, Hosea delivered messages of warning, repentance, and hope to the people of Israel.
Amos was also a prophet during the 8th century BCE, but he prophesied primarily in the southern kingdom of Judah. However, he also delivered prophecies to the northern kingdom of Israel. Amos was an outsider, a shepherd and a farmer by trade, and his prophecies criticized the social and economic injustices prevalent in both kingdoms. He warned the people of impending judgment and called for repentance.
Both Hosea and Amos addressed the Israelites, primarily focusing on their disobedience, idolatry, social injustices, and the need for repentance. They challenged the people to turn back to God, obey His commandments, and seek justice and righteousness.
