1 David built houses for himself in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tent for it.

16 Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.
In the days of King David, he established a tabernacle that had singers and musicians who ministered to the Lord night and day.
11 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: 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, Which are called by my name, Saith the Lord that doeth this. 13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; And the mountains shall drop sweet wine, And all the hills shall melt. 14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, And they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
On that day - yôm ( 24 hour period)
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children.
11 “On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;
The Tabernacle of David - a deposed dynasty of David (Amos 9:8)
8 “Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” Says the Lord.

The promise of the restoration of the tabernacle of David refers to the governmental restoration of David’s worldwide rule as part of the restoration of national Israel in the millennial kingdom. The governmental rule of Jesus from Jerusalem over all the nations.( Jesus ruling from the throne of David).

13 And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 16 ‘After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up; 17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the Lord who does all these things.’ 18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works.
This chapter describes a famous meeting of leaders in the early church that was held in Jerusalem to decide how the church was to respond to Gentiles who had become believers. (Incidentally, this problem is the other way around today. Years ago, the Assemblies of God denomination held a meeting to decide whether their churches could accept Messianic believers. Eventually, one of the leaders stood up and said, “Brothers, they have accepted us— we’ve got to accept them!” In this way, history has come full circle.)
The controversy in Acts 15 was brought to a conclusion by James, who gave the above statement in which he quoted from the prophet Amos. (Read Acts 15:13-18).
Notice the central statement in the above Scripture that James quoted from Amos: “I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David”—
not the tabernacle of Moses, nor the temple of Solomon, but the tabernacle of David. Where was the tabernacle of David built? In Jerusalem, the place where God had chosen to put His name.
This passage gives us the scriptural basis for the whole era of the Gentile church. It is the rebuilding of the tabernacle of David.
I have heard many messages that illuminate the differences between the tabernacle of Moses and the tabernacle of David. In the tabernacle of Moses, worship was permitted only during certain hours of daylight; the tabernacle of David was open day and night. With the tabernacle of Moses, only the Levites had access; but with the tabernacle of David, there was a freedom and a spontaneity of worship—anybody could worship there.
At which kind of tabernacle are we, as God’s children, able to worship?
The tabernacle of David.
What was the essence of the tabernacle of David? Praise.
What was a result of the tabernacle of David? The book of Psalms, Prosperity and total peace
For the Gentile church, our true charter of liberty is the rebuilding of the tabernacle of David. However, our emphasis here is not on the building but on the site where God had chosen to put His name.
In our dispensation, the key issue for us is this: Where has God chosen to put His name? The answer is not in a building, nor in a nationality, nor in a denomination, nor in a particular human leader’s teachings. God has placed His name in one Person. That Person is Jesus Christ. Where are we authorized to meet? “Into” the name of Jesus. We are to gather around the invisible Person of Jesus, who meets with us when we are led together by the Spirit of God into His name.
When we repent of having turned aside to “high places” of worship, rejecting them as the basis of our meeting together as Christians, we will remove barriers that have been holding us back from fulfilling our calling as God’s people in the world
15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 16 ‘After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up; 17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the Lord who does all these things.’ 18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works.
16 Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.
In the days of King David, he established a tabernacle that had singers and musicians who ministered to the Lord night and day.

21 This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! 2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! 3 Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! 4 Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! 5 Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, 6 O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
the rest of mankind - whosoever
Worldwide unprecedented harvest is the result
The Holy Spirit is orchestrating a global worship and prayer movement that will operate in great authority. This prayer movement will operate in the spirit of the tabernacle of David.
God is not finished with the prayer movement around the world. He wants to transform it from a “movement” to a lifestyle.
36 “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.
