Amos 9:12
_ _ That they may possess ... remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen — “Edom,” the bitter foe, though the brother, of Israel; therefore to be punished (Amos 1:11, Amos 1:12), Israel shall be lord of the “remnant” of Edom left after the punishment of the latter. James quotes it, “That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles,” etc. For “all the heathen” nations stand on the same footing as Edom: Edom is the representative of them all. The residue or remnant in both cases expresses those left after great antecedent calamities (Romans 9:27; Zechariah 14:16). Here the conversion of “all nations” (of which the earnest was given in James’s time) is represented as only to be realized on the re-establishment of the theocracy under Messiah, the Heir of the throne of David (Amos 9:11). The possession of the heathen nations by Israel is to be spiritual, the latter being the ministers to the former for their conversion to Messiah, King of the Jews; just as the first conversions of pagans were through the ministry of the apostles, who were Jews. Compare Isaiah 54:3, “thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles” (compare Isaiah 49:8; Romans 4:13). A remnant of Edom became Jews under John Hyrcanus, and the rest amalgamated with the Arabians, who became Christians subsequently.
_ _ which are called by my name — that is, who belong to Me, whom I claim as Mine (Psalms 2:8); in the purposes of electing grace, God terms them already called by His name. Compare the title, “the children,” applied by anticipation, Hebrews 2:14. Hence as an act of sovereign grace, fulfilling His promise, it is spoken of God. Proclaim His title as sovereign, “the Lord that doeth this” (“all these things,” Acts 15:17, namely, all these and such like acts of sovereign love). |
Amos 9:12
They — Literally the Jews. Possess — Both the lands of Edom, and some of the posterity of Edom; these as servants, the other as their propriety. The remnant — Left by Nebuchadnezzar. All the heathen — That is, round about. That doth this — But this is also a prophecy of setting up the kingdom of the Messiah, and bringing in the Gentiles. |
Amos 9:12
That they may possess the remnant of (k) Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
(k) Meaning, the very enemies (as were the Edomites) and others would be united with the Jews in one society and body, of which Christ would be the head. |

Joel 3:8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
