“And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.”
The statement that the LORD took Amos from following the flock and said to him go prophesy to my people Israel indicates the direct calling of the prophet apart from institutional mediation. The removal from pastoral work indicates the demanding nature of the prophetic calling.
