Commentary on Amos 9:15

Theological / Devotional

I will plant. A figure of speech denoting permanence of establishment (see Jer. 24:6).

Which I have given. The promise made to Abraham that his seed would inherit the land of Canaan (see on Gen. 15:13) was fulfilled partially when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land under Joshua. The purpose of God was still being carried out when the Jews returned to Palestine after the Babylonian captivity. However, the final fulfillment of this wonderful promise will come when the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, comes “down from God out of heaven” (Rev. 21:2) and is established permanently in the land of Canaan (see on Zech. 14:4). For further comment see pp. 29, 30.
