Amos 9: I Will Raise Up the Tent of David

Amos 9 begins with the Lord beside the altar announcing that no one could hide from His judgment. Yet God would not utterly destroy the house of Jacob. He would sift Israel like grain, and not the least kernel will fall on the earth. Then the promise: In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen. God would bring His people back, they would plant vineyards, and God would plant them on their land.
