Wells of Living Water Commentary - Amos 9:9-15

A Bird's-Eye View of Amos Amos 9:9-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We wish to suggest five things about the Prophet whom God used to deliver His message to Israel. 1. Amos, the man. Our opening verse reads: "The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa." The Lord does not always choose the cultured, educated, and perhaps withal more or less physically weakened youths, to do His work. He often goes into the most rugged places, where nature has hardened her young men to difficult tasks; and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:1-10

YHWH Will Inexorably Deal In Judgment With His People, Who Have Forgotten Who And What He Really Is, And There Will Therefore Be No Hiding Place For Them (Amos 9:1-10 ). There is something genuinely awesome and thrilling about Amos’s opening words here as he declares, ‘I saw YHWH’ (compare Isaiah 6:1). They stand in stark contrast to ‘thus the Lord YHWH showed me’ (Amos 7:1; Amos 7:4; Amos 7:7; Amos 8:1). Amos was no longer involved in what was happening except as a spectator, and was in no... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:1-15

Amos 9:9-Ezra : . The Restoration of God’ s People.— This section is probably a post-exilic appendix to the book. The point of view has changed, the fate of Israel being quite different from that contemplated in the rest of the book, and the ideas reflecting the mind of a much later Jewish community.Yahweh will destroy, but He will not utterly destroy ( cf. end of Amos 9:8, if genuine). Israel must be sifted and scattered among the nations ( Amos 9:9). But it shall be like the sifting of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people, the great, notorious sinners, idolaters, oppressors, perverters of law and equity, cruel and inhuman judges and others, shall die by the sword; either at home in the wars, or abroad by barbarous men that captivate them; as Amos 9:4. Which say; in their hearts thinking or hoping, or in their words discoursing, the impossibility of what Amos did foretell. The evil, the sad, miserable, and desolating end, shall not overtake nor prevent us; as a pursuing enemy, we will... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Amos 9:8-10

CRITICAL NOTES.] Amos 9:9.] The figure explains how. For] God will disperse Israel, shake them with other nations. Wheat and chaff are mixed together. The wicked, chaff and dust, fall through the sieve and perish; the grain (solid grain), the godly, will be preserved, every one shall be saved (Matthew 22:12; Luke 22:31). Amos 9:10. Sinners] who say in self-confidence. Prevent] To meet one round about, i.e. to come from every side. All self-secured sinners shall perish, but the righteous shall... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Amos 9:1-15

Chapter 9Now in chapter 9 the final prophecy of Amos, he said,I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: and he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered ( Amos 9:1 ).So this great shaking of God. God said that though they try and flee, they're not going to escape. Though they seem to escape,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Amos 9:1-15

Amos 9:1 . I saw the Lord standing upon the altar in Jerusalem, as in Isaiah 6:1, and Ezekiel 9:3. Here the prophet heard the awful words, that God would hunt the idolaters from all their hiding places. The sword of the Assyrians pursued them down to Egypt. Amos 9:2 . Though they dig into hell; the deep places of the earth, where they often hid themselves from the devouring sword. 1 Samuel 14:11. Amos 9:3 . Though they hide in the woods and caves of Carmel, the Chaldeans and the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Amos 9:7-10

Amos 9:7-10Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto Me, O children of Israel? Sin dissolving the union between God and His people1. These verses strike at the root of all Israel’s fancied security. They were the people of God, whom He had brought from Egypt and planted in Canaan, whose whole life had been passed under His peculiar guardian care. They thought that God would never execute final judgment on them, because He had so often spared them and blessed them. But sin dissolved this... read more
