Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 9:1-10

We have here the justice of God passing sentence upon a provoking people; and observe, I. With what solemnity the sentence is passed. The prophet saw in vision the Lord standing upon the altar (Amos 9:1), the altar of burnt-offerings; for the Lord has a sacrifice, and multitudes must fall as victims to his justice. He is removed from the mercy-seat between the cherubim, and stands upon the altar, the judgment-seat, on which the fire of God used to fall, to devour the sacrifices. He stands upon... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

To him to whom all the prophets bear witness this prophet, here in the close, bears his testimony, and speaks of that day, those days that shall come, in which God will do great things for his church, by the setting up of the kingdom of the Messiah, for the rejecting of which the rejection of the Jews was foretold in the Amos 9:1-10. The promise here is said to agree to the planting of the Christian church, and in that to be fulfilled, Acts 15:15-17. It is promised, I. That in the Messiah the... read more

For, lo, I will command ,.... What follows; which is expressive of afflictive and trying dispensations of Providence, which are according to the will of God, by his appointment and order, and overruled for his glory, and the good of his people: and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve ; this is to be understood of spiritual Israel, of those who are Israelites indeed, who are like to corns of wheat, first die before they live; die unto sin, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword ,.... By the sword of the Assyrians, and of others, into whose countries they shall flee for shelter, Amos 9:1 ; even all such who are notorious sinners, abandoned to their lusts, obstinate and incorrigible; live in sin, and continue therein; repent not of sin, disbelieve the prophets of the Lord, and defy his threatenings, and put away the evil day far from them: which say, the evil shall not overtake nor prevent us ; the evil... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 9:11

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen ,.... Not in the day of Israel's ruin, but in the famous Gospel day, so often spoken of by the prophets; and this prophecy is referred to the times of the Messiah by the ancient F17 Zohar in Exod. fol. 96. 2. Jews; and one of the names they give him is taken from hence, "Barnaphli" F18 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 96. 2. , the Son of the fallen. R. Nachman said to R. Isaac, hast thou heard when Barnaphli comes? to whom... read more

That they may possess the remnant or Edom, and of all the Heathen, which are called by my name ,.... Or that these may be possessed; that is, by David or Christ, who shall have the Heathen given him for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession, Psalm 2:8 ; when the remnant, according to the election of grace, in those nations that have been the greatest enemies to Christ and his Gospel, signified by Edom, shall be converted, and call upon the name of the... read more

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or "are coming" F25 ימים באים "dies venientes", Montanus, Burkius. ; and which will commence upon the accomplishment of the above things, when the church of Christ is raised up and established, the Jews converted, and the Gentiles brought in: that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper ; or "meet the reaper" F26 נגש הורש בקוצר "et vel cum occurret arator messori", Vatablus, Drusius; "attingent arator messorem", Pagninus,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 9:14

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel ,.... Which is not to be understood of the captivity of the Jews in Babylon, and their return from thence, with whom some of the ten tribes of Israel were mixed; for they were not then so planted in their own land as no more to be pulled up again, as is here promised; for they afterwards were dispossessed of it by the Romans, and carried captive, and dispersed among the nations again; but the captivity both of Judah and Israel is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:9

I will sift the house of Israel among all nations - I will disperse them over the face of the earth; and yet I will so order it that the good shall not be lost; for though they shall be mixed among distant nations, yet there shall be a general restoration of them to their own land. The least grain - צרור tseror , little stone, pebble, or gravel. Not one of them, howsoever little or contemptible, when the time comes, shall be left behind. All shall be collected in Christ, and brought... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people - Those who are the boldest and most incredulous; especially they who despise my warnings, and say the evil day shall not overtake nor prevent us; they shall die by the sword. It is no evidence of a man's safety that he is presumptuously fearless. There is a blessing to him who trembles at God's word. read more
