I will plant them on their land, And they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says Yahweh your God.
The blessings that the prophet pictures here are far greater than those experienced by post-exilic Israel. In the New Testament Amos’s picture of the rule of the Davidic king over the nations is applied to the expansion of Christ’s kingdom among the Gentiles (Acts 15:13-18; cf. Ephesians 3:6). No doubt there will be an greater application in the future (cf. Romans 8:19-23; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 22:1-5).
