Question
6. How did the Scriptures shed light on the discussion?Through the prophet Amos, Jehovah foretold that the time would come when He would raise up “the booth of David,” that is, the royal line leading to the Messianic Kingdom. (Ezek. 21:26, 27) Would Jehovah once again deal exclusively with fleshly Jews as a nation? No. The prophecy adds that “people of all the nations” would be brought together as “people who are called by [God’s] name.” Remember, Peter had just testified that God “made no distinction at all between us [Jewish Christians] and them [Gentile believers], but purified their hearts by faith.” (Acts 15:9) In other words, it is God’s will that Jews and Gentiles alike be brought into the Kingdom as heirs. (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 2:17-19) Nowhere did such inspired prophecies suggest that the Gentile believers must first be circumcised in the flesh or become proselytes.

The Scriptures, particularly through the prophet Amos, indicate that God would establish the royal line of David, leading to the Messianic Kingdom. Importantly, this prophecy reveals that God would not only focus on the Jewish nation but would also gather people from all nations who are called by His name. Peter affirmed this by stating that there is no distinction between Jewish and Gentile believers, emphasizing that both can be part of God's Kingdom as heirs. The prophecies do not require Gentiles to be circumcised or to convert to Judaism first.
