The quotation is taken from Amos 2:11. "After these things. will return, and. will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, and. will rebuild its ruins, and. will restore it": This verse is not predicting the rebuilding of the "tabernacle" constructed in Exodus, rather it is speaking of the "house" or royal family line of David. That is, that one of David's descendants would again reign as king over Israel. The fall of the nation came as Amos predicted; and as. result there were no kings over Israel for some 500 years. Yet Jesus had been born, died, buried and resurrected and now was seated at God's right hand and ruling on David's throne over the new Israel (Acts 2:30 ff).
