摩九11~12　　到那日，我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕，堵住其中的破口，把那毁坏的建立起来，重新修造，像古时一样；使以色列人得以东所余剩的，和所有称为我名下的国；这是行这事的耶和华说的。

　　阿摩司九章十一至十五节论到以色列家的复兴和大卫倒塌帐幕的重建。…在行传十五章，当使徒们和众长老聚在一起，解决割礼的问题时，雅各引用了阿摩司九章十一至十二节这一段话。

　　大卫的帐幕就是大卫的国和大卫的王室。古时王室与国很难分开；事实上，二者乃是一。大卫的国就是大卫的王室。当尼布甲尼撒来掳掠以色列国、蹂躏那地、焚烧城邑、毁坏圣殿、掳走君王的时候，那个国，那个王室就倒塌了。那就是大卫的国和大卫王室的倒塌。但在阿摩司书里，神进来应许，有一日祂要回来复兴倒塌的大卫之国。在那日，大卫的国和大卫的家要得着复兴，万国必称为耶和华名下的国。（阿摩司书生命读经，二八一至二八二页。）

　　Amos 9:11-12 In that day I will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David, and I will wall up its breaches and raise up its ruins and build it up as it was in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations which are called by My name, declares Jehovah who does this.

　　The restoration of the house of Israel with the rebuilding of the fallen tabernacle of David is covered in Amos 9:11-15. [Verses 11 and 12 of] this portion of Amos are quoted by James in Acts 15, when the apostles and the elders were gathered together to solve the problem of circumcision.

　　The tabernacle of David is the kingdom and the royal family of David. In ancient times it was hard to separate the royal family from the kingdom. Actually these two things are one. David’s kingdom was David’s royal family. That kingdom, that royal family, fell when Nebuchadnezzar came to capture the nation of Israel, devastate the land, burn the city, destroy the temple, and carry off the king. That was the fall of the kingdom of David and the royal family of David. However, in Amos God came in to promise that some day He would come back to restore the fallen kingdom of David. In that day the kingdom of David and the family of David will be restored, and all the nations will be called by the name of Jehovah. (Life-study of Amos, pp. 17-18)

　　阿摩司九章的预言指明，有一日，基督要回来作真大卫。当基督回来时，在祂末次的显现里，祂乃是真大卫，要复兴祂的国和祂的王室。那将是千年国；那时万国必称为耶和华名下的国，即万国必属于神。基于这事，雅各在行传十五章告诉犹太信徒，不要因着彼得和保罗到外邦人那里去而受搅扰，因为在复兴时，所有的外邦人都要成为神的子民，就像犹太人一样。

　　基督要来并复兴倒塌的大卫之国，以建立祂的国，好复兴整个宇宙。那时，万国都要成为神的子民。这是阿摩司预言中的一大项。（阿摩司书生命读经，二八二页。）

　　千年国的属地部分，将是复兴的以色列国—大卫的国。（徒一6，可十一10。）在旧约里，主应许犹太人，弥赛亚，就是受膏者，要来承受大卫的宝座，并复兴犹太国，也就是以色列国。（创四九10，撒下七13，16，诗二8~9，七二1~20，八九4，一一○2，赛九6~7，十一1~5，10，耶二三5~6，三十9，三三14~17，结二一27，三四23~24，三七24~25，但二35，七14，何三5，摩九11~12，亚三8，六12~13，九9~10。）主耶稣第一次来时，犹太人在期待弥赛亚复兴祂的国。（路二25，三15，七19，约一41，七27，41。）然而，乃是到主再来时，祂才要复兴弥赛亚的国。（太二三39。）弥赛亚所要复兴的国—将来要复兴的弥赛亚国或以色列国—将是千年国的属地部分，是主所要重建之大卫的帐幕。（徒十五16。）在千年国期间，主要坐在大卫的宝座上，掌管雅各家（犹太人—路一32~33），并治理地上的列国。（诗二8，七二8，但七14，二35。）

　　在千年国的属地部分，悔改的犹太人将是祭司，得恢复、复兴、并蒙保守的万民将是百姓；受造之物要得复兴，再也没有战争，全地要充满和平。那将是何等奇妙并荣耀的国！（真理课程四级卷二，三○四至三○六页。）

　　This prophecy in Amos 9 indicates that one day Christ will come back to be the real David. When Christ comes back, in His last appearing He will be the real David to restore His kingdom and His royal family. That will be the millennial kingdom, in which all the nations will be called by the name of Jehovah; that is, all the nations will belong to God. It was based on this that in Acts 15 James told the Jewish believers not to be bothered by Peter’s and Paul’s going to the Gentiles, because in the restoration all the Gentiles will belong to God, just like the Jews.

　　Christ will come and restore the fallen kingdom of David to set up His kingdom for the restoration of the entire universe. At that time all the nations will become God’s people. This is a great item in Amos’s prophecy. (Life-study of Amos, p. 18)

　　The earthly section of the millennial kingdom will be the restored kingdom of Israel—the kingdom of David (Acts 1:6; Mark 11:10). In the Old Testament the Lord promised the Jewish people that the Messiah, the anointed One, would come to inherit the throne of David and restore the Jewish nation, that is, the nation of Israel (Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:13, 16; Psa. 2:8-9; 72:1-20; 89:4; 110:2-3; Isa. 9:6-7; 11:1-5, 10; Jer. 23:5-6; 30:9; 33:14-17; Ezek. 21:27; 34:23-24; 37:24-25; Dan. 2:35; 7:14; Hosea 3:5; Amos 9:11-12; Zech. 3:8; 6:12-13; 9:9-10). When the Lord Jesus came the first time, the Jews were expecting the Messiah to restore His kingdom (Luke 2:25; 3:15; 7:19; John 1:41; 7:27, 41). However, it will not be until the Lord’s second coming that He will restore the Messianic kingdom (Matt. 23:39). The kingdom that the Messiah will restore—the kingdom of Messiah or the kingdom of Israel to be restored in the future—will be the earthly part of the millennium, the tabernacle of David which the Lord will rebuild (Acts 15:16). The Lord will sit on the throne of David and reign over the house of Jacob, that is, the Jewish people (Luke 1:32-33), and He will rule over the nations of the earth during the millennium (Psa. 2:8; 72:8; Dan. 7:14; 2:35).

　　In the earthly section of the millennial kingdom the converted Jews will be the priests, and the nations, who will be restituted, restored, and preserved, will be the people. Creation will be restored, there will be no more war, and the earth will be full of peace. What a marvelous and glorious kingdom that will be! (Truth Lessons—Level Four, vol. 2, pp. 259-261)
