The message of Amos is about God's impartial justice, which extends to all nations, not just Israel. The chapter is a series of pronouncements of judgment against surrounding nations for their specific sins, like inhumane treatment and breaking treaties. The core message is that everyone is accountable to God for their actions, and His judgment is a certainty for all who commit injustice. Lest we forget.
The main message of 1 Kings 19 is that God provides for and restores His followers, even in moments of deep discouragement and despair, often with compassion and a gentle, yet firm, voice. The chapter shows that even powerful prophets like Elijah can experience fear, depression, and a feeling of isolation after great spiritual victories, and it emphasizes God's continued presence, provision, and direction in those moments. It also highlights the importance of honest dialogue with God and the beginning of a new calling for others.
