Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 9:9

"For lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth."The "house of Israel" here has exactly the same meaning as "the house of Jacob," having no reference at all to any secular kingdom, but to that "kernel," the righteous remnant who truly love and obey the Lord, not a single one of whom shall be lost or suffer destruction from the Lord. The simile here is that of a sieve used... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 9:10

"All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, the evil shall not overtake nor meet us."Here again is reaffirmed the constant thesis of Amos that the two secular kingdoms, which were evil, shall surely fail, and the kingdoms shall be wiped off the face of the earth. The "not utterly destroy" of the previous verse (Amos 9:8b) is not a denial of this, but an indication of a different fate for the "righteous remnant," in keeping with God's eternal purpose. There are two things in... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 9:9

Amos 9:9. I will sift the house of Israel— This prophesy remarkably agrees with the present state of the Jews. "I will mingle and scatter the Israelites among all nations, just as good and bad grain are mingled in a sieve; but will so order it, that the good grain (the souls faithful to the grace of God) shall be preserved." See Mat 3:12 and Lowth. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Amos 9:9

9. sift—I will cause the Israelites to be tossed about through all nations as corn is shaken about in a sieve, in such a way, however, that while the chaff and dust (the wicked) fall through (perish), all the solid grains (the godly elect) remain (are preserved), ( :-; compare Note, see on :-). So spiritual Israel's final safety is ensured (Luke 22:32; John 10:28; John 6:39). read more

Thomas Constable

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

God would sift all the Israelites, among the other nations, to separate the people deserving judgment from the righteous few. He would allow the righteous person (true wheat) to slip through but would retain the unrighteous (a kernel, pebble, anything compacted, Heb. seror) for judgment. Another possibility is that those who do not pass through the screen represent the righteous remnant and all others are the sinful Israelites. He would separate the righteous from the sinful as He sifted... read more
