Amos lived between 783 and 743. It was a period of prosperity in the Northern Kingdom but it was also a time when the wealthy exploited the poor.

Amos was surely a man of our time.
And guess what he was expelled from Israel.
Among the things he condemned was the deceitful consolation of insincere ceremonial.
