Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

9:11-15 HOPE FOR THE FUTUREBeyond judgment Amos sees God’s forgiveness. Captivity in a foreign land will bring to an end the old division between the northern state of Israel and the southern state of Judah. God will bring the reunited people back into their land, where they will live in security and prosperity under the rule of the restored Davidic dynasty. Israel’s rule will extend over other nations, here represented by Edom (11-12). The land will become so productive that grain will grow... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 9:15

Furthermore the Israelites would put roots down in the Promised Land and never have to leave it again (cf. Genesis 13:14-15; Genesis 17:7-8; Deuteronomy 30:1-5; 2 Samuel 7:10; Jeremiah 30:10-11; Ezekiel 37:25; Joel 3:17-21; Micah 4:4-7; Zechariah 14:11). They would not fear exile (Amos 4:2-3; Amos 5:5; Amos 5:27; Amos 6:7; Amos 7:11; Amos 7:17; Amos 9:4) but would be secure from every foe (cf. Leviticus 26:7-8; Deuteronomy 28:7; Deuteronomy 28:10). Yahweh, Israel’s true God, promised this."The... 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

CHAPTER 9 The Passing of a Kingdom and the Coming of the Kingdom 1. The fifth vision: The passing of a kingdom (Amos 9:1-10 ) 2. The coming of the kingdom (Amos 9:11-15 ) Amos 9:1-10 . In his fifth vision the prophet saw the Lord standing by the altar. He utters His word. The description of what is to take place is very vivid.

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Amos 9:1-15

AMOS GENERAL OVE RV IEW OF THE BOOK The opening verse shows that Amos, like Hosea, was a prophet sent to Israel, though his home, Tekoa, was in Judah. He was contemporary with Hosea for a while, though the latter prophesied longer than he. After the introduction (Amos 1:1-3 ) there follows a series of messages concerning Gentile nations (Amos 1:4 to Amos 2:3 ), each beginning with the words “For three transgressions.., and for four, I will not turn away the punishment,” an orientalism,... read more
