AMOS—NOTE ON 9:9 shake . . . among all the nations. Only the chaff was to be punished; his remnant was to be preserved to inherit the blessings spoken of in the following verses.
AMOS—NOTE ON 9:11–15 Millennial blessings await the final faithful remnant, when Messiah personally reigns over all nations in Jerusalem upon the throne of David, and the Jews are never again pulled up from their divinely inherited land.
AMOS—NOTE ON 9:11 booth of David. A reference to the dynasty of David (cf. Introduction: Interpretive Challenges). God will "raise up" and "rebuild" this tabernacle on earth for Christ to rule in his millennial kingdom (cf. Zech. 14:9– 11). The apostles used this passage to illustrate that Gentiles could thus be a part of God's redemption. See notes on Acts 15:13–18.
AMOS—NOTE ON 9:13–14 Prosperity, in hyperbolic fashion, is here described (cf. Lev. 26:5; Joel 3:18; contrast Isa. 5). Fruitfulness is so enormous that planting and reaping seasons overlap. This prosperity will encourage massive repatriation (cf. Isa. 11:15–16) and reconstruction (cf. Zech. 2:1–5).
AMOS—NOTE ON 9:15 they shall never again be uprooted out of the land. The ultimate fulfillment of God's land promise to Abraham (cf. Gen. 12:7; 15:7; 17:8) will occur during Christ's millennial reign on earth (cf. Joel 2:26–27).
