Commentary on Amos 9:13

Theological / Devotional

Behold, the days come. Verses 13-15 depict in striking language the multitude of blessings that might have come to literal Israel (see on v. 11) but now will come to all who are the true Israel of God (see PK 300).

Plowman shall overtake. The “plowman” will catch up with the “reaper,” because sowing and reaping will follow each other with no break in time. So abundant will be the harvest and the vintage that, figuratively speaking, they cannot be fully gathered before the next plowing and sowing begin.
