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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Amos 9:1-15

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. He stands by the altar and the people are assembled before Him. He smites the lintel of the door, so that everything trembles and the building falls upon them,... read more

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Amos 9:1-15

Omnipotence and Omniscience Amos 9:0 The prophet gets clearer and brighter as he goes along. Up to this time we have had visions; now we have the clear, definite, concrete realisation: "I saw the Lord standing upon the altar." We have come past the visions, the outlines, the apocalyptic cloudings, and we are face to face with the living God. This is music, this is progress, this is characteristic of the way of life; we end, not in vision of a poetic, ideal, shadowy kind, but in vision that... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

"In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: (12) That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. (13) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Amos 9:13

Shall overtake, &c. By this is meant the great abundance of spiritual blessings; which, as it were, by a constant succession, shall enrich the Church of Christ. (Challoner) --- Munster, and his imitator, Clarius, see nothing but an allegory in this abundance and return, ver. 14. Yet the literal sense ought to be adopted, when it involves no contradiction. (Houbigant, pref. p. 297.) --- God promised a succession of crops to the faithful Israelites, (Leviticus xxvi. 5.) and the return of the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:11-15

11-15 Christ died to gather together the children of God that were scattered abroad, here said to be those who were called by his name. The Lord saith this, who doeth this, who can do it, who has determined to do it, the power of whose grace is engaged for doing it. Verses Amos 9:13-15 may refer to the early times of Christianity, but will receive a more glorious fulfilment in the events which all the prophets more or less foretold, and may be understood of the happy state when the fulness both... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Amos 9:11-15

The Kingdom of Messiah Established v. 11. In that day, in the great Messianic period to which the entire Old Testament looks forward, will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, the monarchy and family of David, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old, so that the kingdom of the true Son of David, of the Messiah, would once more be secure, established forever, v. 12. that they may possess the remnant of Edom,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Amos 9:1-15

Amos 9:0Fifth Vision. The Downfall. Not even a little Grain perishes. After the Overthrow of all careless Sinners God will raise the fallen Tent of David to new Glory.1I saw the Lord standing at1 the altar,And He said, Smite the top2 that the thresholds may tremble,And dash them3 upon the head of all,And their remnant I will kill with the sword;He that fleeth of them shall not flee away,And he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.2 If they break through4 into hell,From thence will my... read more
