Dr. Chuck Missler on the Book of Amos
Below is a compilation of background info to note prior to understanding Amos:
Prophets to the people:
Northern Kingdom(fell first): Hosea, Amos (They are of the same period)
Gentiles: Obadiah (to the Edomites), Jonah (prophet to the Gentiles, aka, Ninevah, which later conquered the Northern Kingdom), Nahem
Southern Kingdom: Joel, Micah, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Isaiah
Post-Exile: Haggas, Zachariah, Malachi
Daniel 5:35 details the "Silent Years", which makes it not so silent...
Amos 9:1
The tabernacle of David is not to be confused with the temple of Soloman
There are many covenants mentioned throughout the Bible. There are 4 that are unique because they are unconditional covenants--unconditional because God just provides. Otherwise, a covenant is like a contract; "if you do this, then I will do this"--each side has a condition.

Each of these 4 unconditional covenants has an adversary:
Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12)--adversary: the world, aka anti-semitism. The holocust was the world's response to the plight of the Jews
Lamb Covenant (Genesis 15)--adversary: Israel's rights to the land is combated by the Islams
Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7)--adversary: the church, who often ignores the literal meaning of the Bible and interprets it only allegorically; e.g., many churches do not believe in a literal millennium and think it's only an allegorical event without realizing that the millennium is the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant
Everlasting Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31)
