1). This verse is quoted by James during the Jerusalem Council that established that Gentiles were part of God’s New Covenant. The wonderful passage also establishes that the Messianic Jewish mind believed in the Millennial Reign, that the time of Gentile blessing in the New Covenant would be followed by the blessings mentioned in Amos 9:11.

a). Acts 15:13-17  And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
