Notes fromAmos 9

In this chapter we have,

I. Judgment threatened, which the sinners shall not escape (v. 1-4), which an almighty power shall inflict (v. 5, 6), which the people of Israel have deserved as a sinful people (v. 7, 8); and yet it shall not be the utter ruin of their nation (v. 8), for a remnant of good people shall escape (v. 9). But the wicked ones shall perish (v. 10).
II. Mercy promised, which was to be bestowed in the latter days (v. 11-15), as appears by the application of it to the days of the Messiah, Acts 15:16. And with those comfortable promises, after all the foregoing rebukes and threatenings, the book concludes.
