In this passage, Amos gives the promise of future deliverance and restoration by God’s plan to save the Gentiles through the Messiah, Jesus Christ. As the greater Son of David, the resurrected Jesus would raise up the fallen tent of David…rebuilding and fulfilling God’s promise to establish David’s dynasty eternally… or as James described in Acts 15:12-17 when he quoted Amos and applied it to God’s taking a people for Himself from among the Gentiles and including them within His Church. The prophet Amos thus, foresees that the Lord will take possession of the remnant of all nations and will reign over them in a covenantal relationship through Jesus Christ, the coming Messiah.
