AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 1:1 The vision of [the prophet] Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning [the kingdom of] Judah and [its capital] Jerusalem, which he saw [as revealed by God] during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. |
Bible Question: Is the father of Isaiah (Amoz) the same man as the prophet Amos? (Is. 1:1 and Amos) |
Bible Answer: Hi Renewingmind, welcome to the forum. The short answer is that he almost certainly was not. The names are in fact different (Amos and Amotz). Amos was a herdsman and fig-farmer from Tekoah in Judah, prophesying around 760 BC. He prophesied in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Isaiah was a Jerusalemite, and possibly (according to Jewish tradition) connected to the royal house. He commenced prophesying about 740 BC in Jerusalem. Best wishes |
