I think that Amon might be someone sent back from the future to contain Korra.

Perhaps in the original timeline without Amon and Equalists, Korra's lack of spirituality and arrogance led her to be corrupted. Evil Avatar Korra would then have brought great sufferings upon the world but remained undefetable because she was the goddamn Avatar. So someone from anti-Korra resistance army developed a time machine and sent Amon back to the past to stop Korra before she became fully realized. Basically Amon is not energybending/blessed by spirits or anything, he is merely using advanced future technologies to rid people of bending. This also explains why the world has changed so rapidly during those 70 years gap between ATLA and LOK - Technology from the next century must have leaked into the world of Avatar world via means of the time machine.

Maybe the climax of this show will feature evil Korra time traveling back as well, resulting in an epic three way battle between good Korra, evil Korra from the future and Amon.
