Amos 9:14 NIV

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

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:14

They shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine - When threatened with great evils, Amos 5:11 , it is said, "They shall plant pleasant vineyards but shall not drink the wine of them." Previously to their restoration, they shall labor for others; after their restoration, they shall labor for themselves. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:14

Verse 14 As the prophecy we have noticed was one difficult to be believed, especially when the people were led away into exile, the Prophet comes to the help of this lack of faith, and shows that this would be no hindrance to God to lead his people to the felicity of which he speaks. These things seem indeed to be quite contrary, the one to the other, — that the people, spoiled of all dignity, should be driven to a far country to live in miserable exile, and that they should also be scattered... read more

Part IV . EPILOGUE . THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW KINGDOM AND THE REIGN OF MESSIAH . THE KINGDOM SHALL EMBRACE ALL NATIONS ( Amos 9:11 , Amos 9:12 ), SHALL BE ENRICHED WITH SUPERABUNDANT SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS ( Amos 9:13 , Amos 9:14 ), AND SHALL ENDURE FOREVER ( Amos 9:15 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

The restoration of the true moral theocracy. "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," etc. In the previous verses we have had to notice the destruction of the sinful kingdom; in this paragraph we have the establishment of the true kingdom—the true moral theocracy. "In that day," i.e. when the judgment has fallen upon the sinful kingdom, and all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:13-15

Out of the shadow into the sun. Israel's atmosphere has cleared. The thunders are silent. The storms are blown out. The clouds are scattered. The shadow of "the great doom's image" has lifted. And now the sun comes out in the clear shining after rain. We look forth on a new land of promise, a land from which the curse of God and the track of the destroyer have disappeared. The ruins are rebuilt. The waste places bloom. The fields throw teeming crops, beyond the harvester's power to gather.... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:13-15

The golden age. Nothing short of inspiration can account for such a close to such a book. Throughout his prophecies Amos has been exposing national sinfulness, threatening Divine chastisement, picturing the degradation, the desolation, the captivity of the kingdoms of Israel and of Judah. How comes it that he is able to transcend this distressing representation? to look beyond these gloomy clouds? to discern, whether far or near, the vision of a smiling earth, a happy people, a splendid... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:14

I will bring again the captivity; i.e. I will repair the misery which they have suffered. The expression is here metaphorical, and does not necessarily refer to any restoration to an earthly Canaan. Shall build the waste cities ( Isaiah 54:3 ). All these promised blessings are in marked contrast to the punishments threatened ( Deuteronomy 28:30 , Deuteronomy 28:33 , Deuteronomy 28:39 ; compare similar premises in Isaiah 65:21 , etc.). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Amos 9:14

And I will bring again the captivity of My people - Where all around is spiritual, there is no reason to take this alone as earthly. An earthly restoration to Canaan had no value, except as introductory to the spiritual. The two tribes were, in a great measure, restored to their own land, when Zachariah, being “filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied,” as then about to accomplished, that “God hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up a horn of salvation to us in the house of His... read more
