1 | Explain inaccuracy of | Amos 9:15 | Pew Potato | 224120 | ||
The Cornerstone Biblical Commentary explains it like this: never again be uprooted. God’s forgiveness is complete and his restoration permanent. The future Israel in view has paid the price for covenant trespasses and is assured continual occupation of the land of covenant promise. Yet the subsequent history of Israel shows that the people were displaced from the land again and again by foreign invaders. Some commentators identify the ultimate fulfillment of Amos’s promises of God’s restoration of Israel with the promises fulfilled in the church as the “Israel of God”. Others view Amos’s salvation oracles as a later stage of development in an eschatology that culminates in the kingdom of the Messiah (distinct from the church or church age; cf. Matt 24; Rev 20). |

2 | Explain inaccuracy of | Amos 9:15 | Infinity700 | 224122 | ||
I don't sense any compassion for the Jewish families who were uprooted from their homes. If you were a Jewish citizen exiled from your nation Isreal, would you buy into such a metaphysical interpretation? Or would you angrily claim Amos to be a false prophet? I'm sure Amos was intending to encourage his community with hope. | ||||||
3 | Explain inaccuracy of | Amos 9:15 | Beja | 224129 | ||
Infinity700, I'm not sure if you are trying to make a different point, but if you are saying that Amos is a false prophet you are in violoation of the terms of use of these forums. To use these forums you have agreed to abide by and not contradict the notions of sola scriptura. Part of that is that all of the Bible is inspired and inerrant. I hope you will respond and clarify to us all that you are not suggesting that Amos was a false prophet. Furthermore, I encourage you to see how the new testament interprets this passage in acts 15:16 and following verses. It indeed does see the church as the fullfillment of these promises. In Christ, Beja |
