Acts 15:14-16 The Tabernacle of David

In Acts 15, James, the half-brother of our Lord and the pastor of the church at Jerusalem, said that God had fulfilled a prophecy that He had made about 700 years before through the prophet Amos. The Prophecy was that He would rebuild and restore the Tabernacle of David. Do you understand what this means? It is absolutely thrilling! As you follow this podcast closely, I think God will excite you about the amazing lesson He has given us via the Tabernacle of David!

And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 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: 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. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (Acts 15:13-18)

 

 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: (Amos 9:11)
