阿摩司书 9:5 CUVS

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:5-6

A Reminder Of Who It Is Who Will Do This (Amos 9:5-6 ). The Lord YHWH can do all this because he is Lord of earthquakes, and is the One Who has built His mansions in the heavens, and His cellars on the earth, while also controlling the raging of the sea, and turning it into rain and storm. Amos 9:5 ‘For the Lord, YHWH of hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn, and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.’... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:1-8

Amos 9:1-Ruth : . The Vision of an Avenging God.— The last vision impresses upon Amos the anger and omnipotence of the supreme ruler and judge. Yahweh is seen ( Amos 9:1) stationed by or over the altar ( i.e. of Bethel) or over an altar. The agents of His vengeance are bidden by the prophet to smite the Temple. The command goes forth to “ cut them (the pillars) off at the top of all of them.” Those who escape the shattering of the Temple (“ the last of them” ) will fall by the sword. There... 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 9:5

The prophet having foretold such sad, universal desolations, miseries beyond what this secure people could think possible, and such as the atheists among them censured, and derided as impossibilities, as Amos 9:10; now in this and the following verses to the 10th the prophet confirms his word, and the certainty of these future judgments. The Lord; Adonai, the sovereign Lord. God; Jehovah, who speaks and doth, and need no more than will to work and accomplish; so he made, sustaineth, and... 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

Amo 9:5 And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt. Ver. 5. And the Lord God of hosts is he, &c ] Here the prophet proveth what he had said in the foregoing verses, by an argument drawn from the wonderful power of God, which profane persons are apt to question, that they may harden their hearts against his fear. Consider, saith... read more
