Geneva Study Bible - Amos 9:14

9:14 {n} And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.(n) The accomplishment of this is under Christ, when they are planted in this Church, out of which they can never be pulled, after they have once been grafted into it. 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

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Amos 9:1-15

the Day of Restoration Amos 9:1-15 The guilty will certainly be punished. If they enter the sacred place of worship, even that will not shelter them, Amos 9:1 . Flight and concealment will be in vain. Let them climb ever so high, or burrow ever so deep; let them scale the loftiest hills, or dive into the deepest seas-the consequences of their sins will overtake them, Amos 9:2-3 . How can sinners hope to escape from Him whose chambers are built in the heavens and whose voice governs the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Amos 9:1-15

The final vision was of judgment executed. In this there was no symbol, no sign. We hear the manifesto of Jehovah Himself. It is one of the most awe-inspiring visions of the whole Bible. The message proceeded in two phases. First, announcement of judgment, irrevocable and irresistible; second, announcement of the procedure as reasonable and discriminative. Jehovah is seen standing by the altar, declaring the stroke of destruction to be inevitable, and all attempts at escape futile, because He... read more
