be pulled up out of their land which i have given them, saith The Lord thy God"
Jewish Nationalist's began their struggle to restore the State of Israel,
and return Jew's to their homeland in 1 9 1 7, and by Nov.29th 1947 ,
and especially by May 14th 1948, it became a reality!
To EndtimesDeut32/70AD,
God will not let the everlasting covenant be eliminated{post # 307),
he knows very well, if it were a problem, how to keep it intact even if we don't!
Amos 9:11 and following was declared to be fulfilled in the first century as it is quoted by one of the apostles in Acts 15:16.
The Tabernacle of David referred to a time when David opened the Tabernacle to all peoples of all lands to come and worship God in the tabernacle. I don't think the ark of the covenant was present then and David substituted numerous songs and Psalms and dances and so forth which drew the people into worship the monotheistic god. That is the Tabernacle of David. Amos is saying that there would be a Time coming when all of Israel all of Edom and anyone associated in the area with a monotheistic God would again come To worship God through Jesus christ.
In the New covenant, Israel is a reference to the sons of God through faith in christ. Galatians 6:6 calls it the Israel of god. Other places refer to it as my people Israel. I think Ezekiel 38/39 use that phrase if not then it's just a few chapters earlier. If there is any significance to Amos 9 being the 888th chapter and Jesus name in the Greek being represented by 888 then that should confirm that Amos 9 was fulfilled in the first century in jesus's coming. The apostles further confirmed that fulfillment.
The land of Israel was promised to Abraham and the recipients of that promise are eventually those of like faith that Abraham had in a future seed who would bless all nations. And that future seed is Christ. And the time of that blessing as a firm by all the apostles is the life and ministry of Jesus and the continuation of that ministry within subsequent generations of believers. The land of the New covenant is as much referring to a person's individual body where Christ cannot be plucked out of as much it is is to a particular landmass. But we will also note that after 70 AD it is known that some Christians came back into Judea and Jerusalem reinhabited David's house and continued to worship there until at least 132 ad.
so you are right that God keeps his everlasting promise and the everlasting come covenant was made to all humanity through faith in Christ like Abraham had. As Paul notes in Galatians 3, if you be in Christ then you be Abraham seed and inheritors of the promise. So if there was a land promise associated with the promise to Abraham then the recipients of that promise are christians. But I personally believe the intent of the typology in the old covenant where ordinances govern a land is fulfilled in the ordinances of Christ governing each person's human life who seek to follow him and receive him in freedom. But that's just my take on it.
1Thess 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
