    In Hosea 2

    “In symbolic language Hosea set before the ten tribes God’s plan of restoring to every penitent soul who would unite with His church on earth, the blessings granted Israel in the days of their loyalty to Him in the promised land. Referring to Israel as one to whom He longed to show mercy, the Lord declared, ‘I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call Me Ishi [My husband]; and shall call Me no more Baali [My Lord]. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name,’”—Ibid., pp. 298, 299.EGWRWJP 13.2

    “‘And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; and the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. And I will sow her unto Me in the earth; and I will say to them which were not My people, Thou art My people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.’ EGWRWJP 14.1

    “‘In that day’ ‘the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,... shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.’ From ‘every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people’ there will be some who will gladly respond to the message, ‘Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come.’ They will turn from every idol that binds them to earth, and will ‘worship Him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters’. They will free themselves from every entanglement, and will stand before the world as monuments of God’s mercy. Obedient to the divine requirements, they will be recognized by angels and by men as those that have kept ‘the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ’”—Ibid., pp. 299, 300.EGWRWJP 14.2
