The purpose of the paper is to identify the appearance of God, his message and theological idea in his prophecy by annotation the word of Amos, the first writing prophet.
The five visions in the book of Amos are not an unconsciously experienced ecstasy but a calling as God’s prophet that gave him power and responsibility to deliver his prophetic message.
Even though God was described as just and fair God who could not endure injustice and a judge who asks them to take responsibility for the wrongdoings through five version of prophecy, it continuously shows God’s unfailing love toward God’s chosen people. He waits for their people to repent and return to the Lord by accepting his message.
The five visions of prophecy contains theological ideas about God as an unbiased judge, a creator, and a director, and the sins the Israelites required to turn away. The essential points of the theological idea are God’s love and grace, and his eager waiting in expectation for his people to return.
What God wants through his delusions is to return to God through repentance and rebuild the faith of faith and define a community of love and justice.
