Amos 9:11-12
"In that day I will restore David's fallen shelter—I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins—and will rebuild it as it used to be, so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name," declares the LORD, who will do these things.
Acts 15:16-17
'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things'—
Which New Testament passage fulfills this prophecy in this lesson?
Amos prophesied that God would restore David's fallen shelter so that all nations might seek the Lord. James quoted this at the Jerusalem Council to support the inclusion of Gentile believers. The rebuilding of David's tent is not a physical reconstruction—it is the gathering of all peoples into the family of God through Jesus, the son of David.
Lord of the future, as I study Rebuild David's Fallen Tent, anchor my hope not in circumstances but in Your coming reign.
