The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 185
185. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 2
1-4 Exhortation to abstain from the falsifications of the Word, otherwise there will be no church, but it will be without goods and truths, as before. (11, 2)
5-7 They will become as before when they loved evil and falsity, but they will be withheld. (11, 2)
8 They will return to God whom they worshipped at that time, and from whom they received good, not knowing that this was from the Lord;, (11, 2)
9-13 but because they still did not worship Him, but another god, goods and truths will be vastated. (11, 2)
14-17 Those who will be of the new church, are to be purified by temptations, and prepared, (11)
18-20 and a new church constituted of such will come into existence, which will acknowledge the Lord. (11)
21-23 Then they will receive all things of heaven and the church. (11)
Hosea 2:21-23
21
It will happen in that day, I will respond," says Yahweh, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23
I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'My God!'"
