Amos ends his prophecy with a message of hope, proclaiming that the day
will come when the people will return to the Land of Israel, build houses,
plant vineyards and trees, and enjoy their fruits. This is reminiscent of the
idyllic times described by Micah when every man shall sit “under his vine and
under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid” (4:4). Amos concludes by
comparing the Jewish people to a sapling that is planted firmly in the ground.
Their connection to the Land of Israel will never again be uprooted. Plant your
roots in the eternal Holy Land with a spring tree, and receive a beautiful
certificate.
