Scriptural Confirmations # 56
56. 28. (He who turneth the dawn into the shadow of death and day into night (Amos 5:8).)
(And it shall come to pass in that day that I will cause the sun to set at noon, and I will darken the earth in the day of light (Amos 8:9).)
Behold the days will come in which I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for waters, but for hearing the words of Jehovah (Amos 8:11). In that day they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah and shall not find it. In that day shall the beautiful virgins and the young men faint for thirst (verses 12-13).
In that day will I raise up the tent of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; behold the days come that the mountains shall distil must, and all the hills shall melt; they shall build the devastated cities, then will I plant them upon their land nor shall they be pulled up any more out of their land (Amos 9:11-15).
Amos 9:11-15
11
In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;
12
that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name," says Yahweh who does this.
13
"Behold, the days come," says Yahweh, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14
I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15
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.
