Amos 9
1. The certainty of the desolation.
11. The restoring of the tabernacle of David.














I will firmly plant them
This phrase speaks to the divine promise of stability and permanence. The Hebrew root word for "firmly plant" is "nata," which conveys the idea of planting or establishing something securely. In the context of ancient Israel, agriculture was central to life, and the imagery of planting would resonate deeply with the audience. This promise of being "firmly planted" suggests not only physical security in the land but also spiritual and covenantal stability. It reflects God's unwavering commitment to His people, ensuring that they will not be uprooted again.

in their own land
The phrase "in their own land" emphasizes the personal and national identity of the Israelites. The land of Israel was not just a physical territory but a divine inheritance promised to Abraham and his descendants. Historically, the land was a symbol of God's covenant and blessing. The assurance of being in "their own land" signifies a restoration of identity and fulfillment of God's promises. It is a return to the place where they can worship God freely and live according to His statutes.

never again to be uprooted
This phrase underscores the eternal nature of God's promise. The Hebrew word for "uprooted" is "nasach," which means to pull out or remove. Historically, Israel had experienced exile and displacement due to disobedience and foreign conquest. However, this promise assures them of a future where such instability will no longer occur. It is a declaration of divine protection and a future where God's people will enjoy perpetual peace and security in their land.

from the land I have given them
The phrase "from the land I have given them" reiterates the divine origin of the Israelites' claim to the land. It is not merely a possession but a gift from God, highlighting His sovereignty and grace. The land is a tangible expression of God's faithfulness and generosity. This assurance serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where the land is both a blessing and a responsibility.

says the LORD your God
The concluding phrase "says the LORD your God" affirms the authority and reliability of the promise. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) is significant, as it is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. The personal pronoun "your" indicates a personal relationship between God and His people. This declaration is not just a statement but a divine decree, underscoring that the promise is backed by the full authority and faithfulness of God Himself. It is a comforting assurance that the words spoken are not merely human hopes but divine certainties.

Verse 15. - The blessing shall last forever. They shall no more be pulled up. This was not true of the literal Israel; it must be taken of the spiritual seed, planted in God's land, the Church of Christ, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. "Lo," says Christ, "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20)
