Amos 9:11-12

Amos 9:11-12

[11] In that day  will I raise up  the tabernacle  of David  that is fallen,  and close up  the breaches  thereof; and I will raise up  his ruins,  and I will build  it as in the days  of old:  [12] That they may possess  the remnant  of Edom,  and of all the heathen,  which are called  by my name,  saith  the LORD  that doeth  this.

What does Amos 9:11-12 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The rest of the book is quite different from what has preceded because of its positive message. As is true of other eighth-century prophets to Israel and Judah, Amos included hope in his prophecy (cf. Isaiah 40-66; Hosea 1:10 to Hosea 2:1, Hosea 2:14-23; Micah 2:12-13; Micah 4:1-5).
