Verse 15
Amo 9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Ver. 15. And I will plant them upon their land ] As "trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified," Isaiah 61:3 ; Isaiah 61:11 , being well-rooted and no worse fruited, Philippians 1:6 .
And they shall no more be pulled up ] None shall pull them out of Christ’s hand; for he and the Father are one, John 10:29-30 . None shall separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:39 , they shall be sure of continual supplies of sap and safety, being kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, 2 Peter 1:3 . The paradise of God was so planted, that it was watered on all sides with most noble rivers, to keep it flourishing; how much more will the Lord do this in his heavenly garden, the Church! see Psalms 92:13-14 , when it comes to be transplanted especially.
Saith the Lord thy God ] "Thy God," O prophet, who will ratify and verify what promises soever thou hast uttered in his name. Or "thy God," O people, now reconciled unto thee in Christ, John 20:17 , and therefore ready to heap upon thee all things needful for life and godliness.
