How preachers through history handled this text
18 public-domain excerpts on Amos 9, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Christ died to gather together the children of God that were scattered abroad, here said to be those who were called by his name. The Lord saith this, who doeth this, who can do it, who has determined to do it, the power of whose grace is engaged for doing it. Verses #(13-15) may refer to the early times of Christianity, but will receive a more glorious fulfilment in the events which all the prophets more or less foretold, and may be understood of the happy state when the fulness both of the Jews and the Gentiles come into the church. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Amos 9:11–30 (Public Domain)
