In that day
This phrase often signals a future time of divine intervention or fulfillment of prophecy. In the Hebrew context, "that day" refers to a specific time appointed by God. It is a common prophetic term used throughout the Old Testament to denote a time when God will act decisively in history. Here, it points to a future restoration, a theme prevalent in the prophetic books, where God promises to restore His people after a period of judgment.

I will restore
The Hebrew root for "restore" is "שׁוּב" (shuv), which means to return or bring back. This word carries the connotation of a complete and thorough renewal. In the biblical narrative, restoration is not merely a return to a previous state but an improvement and fulfillment of God's promises. It reflects God's redemptive plan and His faithfulness to His covenant with Israel.

the fallen tent
The "tent" or "booth" (Hebrew: "סֻכָּה" sukkah) symbolizes the house of David, which had fallen into disrepair. The imagery of a tent suggests something temporary and fragile, yet it also evokes the Feast of Tabernacles, a time of remembrance and celebration of God's provision. The "fallen tent" indicates the decline of the Davidic dynasty, but it also holds the promise of renewal and stability through God's intervention.

of David
David represents the ideal king in Israel's history, a man after God's own heart. The reference to David here is significant because it ties the prophecy to the Davidic covenant, where God promised that David's lineage would endure forever (2 Samuel 7:16). This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Son of David, who establishes an eternal kingdom.

and repair its gaps
The imagery of repairing gaps suggests mending breaches and restoring unity. In the historical context, this could refer to the divisions within the kingdom of Israel and Judah. Spiritually, it speaks to the healing of relationships and the restoration of God's people to a place of wholeness and integrity. It underscores God's desire to restore what is broken and make it whole again.

raise up its ruins
The act of raising up ruins implies a resurrection of what was once destroyed. This phrase conveys hope and renewal, as God promises to rebuild what has been devastated. It reflects the biblical theme of resurrection and new life, pointing to the transformative power of God to bring life out of death and hope out of despair.

and rebuild it as in the days of old
This phrase evokes a return to former glory, reminiscent of the golden age of Israel under David and Solomon. It suggests a restoration not only of physical structures but also of spiritual vitality and covenant faithfulness. The "days of old" are idealized as a time when Israel was united and prosperous, serving as a model for the future restoration God promises to bring about. This restoration is ultimately fulfilled in the Messianic kingdom, where Christ reigns supreme.

(11, 12) These verses present some difficulties, as the quotation of the passage in Acts 15:15-17 is a free reproduction by St. James of the rendering of the LXX. The apostle uses it to show that there was a prophetic promise that after the dispersion of Israel the power and throne of David should be so re-established that it might be a rallying-place of the rest of the nations, "that the residue of men should seek after the Lord" (LXX. "me"). The clause which is quoted shows that the LXX. made their translation from a different Hebrew text from ours, and probably an inferior one. The word for "men" (?d?m) was read in place of Edom in the Masoretic text. The rendering "seek" can also be accounted for by a slight modification of the Hebrew characters. The remarks of Dr. Stanley Leathes (Old Testament Prophecy, p. 70) upon this passage are worthy of attention:--"The Greek text, which the apostle did not make, but found, lent itself even more forcibly than the Hebrew to the peculiar circumstances of the time . . . That he was not speaking critically we are willing to admit, but are we sure that he was bound to do so? At all events, our criticism will best display itself in judging his words according to his standard, and not according to one which, it is plain, he did not follow."

Verses 11-15. - Part IV. EPILOGUE. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW KINGDOM AND THE REIGN OF MESSIAH. THE KINGDOM SHALL EMBRACE ALL NATIONS (vers. 11, 12), SHALL BE ENRICHED WITH SUPERABUNDANT SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS (vers. 13, 14), AND SHALL ENDURE FOREVER (ver. 15). Verse 11. - In that day. When the judgment has fallen. The passage is quoted by St. James (Acts 15:16, 27), mostly from the Greek, in confirmation of the doctrine that the Church of God is open to all, whether Jew or Gentile. The tabernacle (sukkah): hut, or tent (as Jonah 4:5); no palace now, but fallen to low esthete, a "little house" (Amos 6:11). The prophet refers probably to the fall of the kingdom of David in the ruin wrought by the Chaldeans. Interpreted spiritually, the passage shadows forth the universal Church of Christ, raised from that of the Jews. Pusey notes that in the Talmud Christ is called "the Son of the fallen." The breaches. The house of David had sustained breaches under the hands of Jeroboam and Joash, and in the severance of the ten tribes at the hands of Assyriaus and Chaldees; these should be repaired. Unity should be restored, the captives should return, and another kingdom should be established under another David, the Messiah. Judah's temporary prosperity under Uzziah and Hezekiah would have been a totally inadequate fulfilment of the prophecy. Prophecies of the temporal and spiritual are, as usual, blended together and run up into each other. His ruins. The destroyed places of David! will build it; Hebrew, her. The whole Jewish Church (comp. Jeremiah 31:4; Jeremiah 33:7). As in the days of old. The days of David and Solomon, the most flourishing times of the kingdom (2 Samuel 7:11, 12, 16). In the expression, "of old," Hebrew, "of eternity," may lurk an idea of the length of time that must elapse before the fulfilment of the promise. Septuagint, Ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτὴν καθὼς αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ αἰῶνος, "I will build it up as are the days of eternity." This seems to signify that the building is to last forever.
