Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 9:1-10

No possibility of escape (9:1-10)In the final vision God causes a shrine to collapse on the heads of the worshippers. The picture is that of God’s judgment on the people of Israel because of their false religion (9:1). None will escape his judgment. No place is beyond his reach (2-4). He is the God of nature, the controller of the universe. He has the power to carry out his plans (5-6).Some Israelites might object that this could not happen to them, because they are God’s chosen people. He... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 9:8

"Behold the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth."This verse is not a promise that God will destroy "the house of Jacob," nor a promise that God will annihilate the total posterity of Abraham; but it is a promise to wipe "the sinful kingdom" off the face of the planet. Which sinful kingdom? Every sinful kingdom, especially the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom of Israel. The ultimate application of this to the whole... read more

8. eyes . . . upon the sinful kingdom—that is, I am watching all its sinful course in order to punish it (compare Amos 9:4; Psalms 34:15; Psalms 34:16). not utterly destroy the house of Jacob—Though as a "kingdom" the nation is now utterly to perish, a remnant is to be spared for "Jacob," their forefather's sake (compare Psalms 34:16- :); to fulfil the covenant whereby "the seed of Israel" is hereafter to be "a nation for ever" (Psalms 34:16- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 9:8

As the sovereign Lord looked over all the kingdoms of the earth, He noticed those of them that were sinful and determined to destroy them because of their wickedness. He would do to Israel what He would do to any other sinful nation (cf. Amos 3:1-2). Yet He promised not to destroy completely the house of Jacob (the Northern Kingdom, because of the covenant He had made with Israel; cf. Amos 5:4-6; Amos 5:14-15). read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Amos 9:7-15

3. THE VOICES OF ANOTHER DAWNAmos 9:7-15And now we are come to the part where, as it seems, voices of another day mingle with that of Amos, and silence his judgments in the chorus of their unbroken hope. At first, however, it is himself without doubt who speaks. He takes up the now familiar truth, that when it comes to judgment for sin, Israel is no dearer to Jehovah than any other people of His equal Providence."Are ye not unto Me, O children of Israel-‘tis the oracle of Jehovah-just like the... read more
