Amos 9:11-12 and Acts 15

Jehovah God visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name (Acts 15:14).  With this the prophets agree, just as it is written in Amos 9:11-12.  "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; 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" (Acts 15:16-17; NKJV).

In Christ and through the Holy Spirit, God the Father is restoring the fallen tabernacle of David and the Gentiles are an integral part of this restored tabernacle.  This was always His plan.  This was part of His eternal purpose:  "Known to God from eternity are all His works" (Acts 15:19; NKJV).

Whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, be about the business of "turning to God" (Acts 15:19; NKJV).
