Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 1:10

"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said of them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God."This is a definite promise and prophecy of the coming of the Gentiles into the favor of God, as indicated by Paul's quotation of this very passage in Romans 9:25, where he declared:"And it shall be, that in the place where it was... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 1:11

"And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel."The fulfillment of the prophecy that the children of Judah and of Israel should be gathered together was fulfilled on Pentecost, "the one head," being none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. "The Gentiles were adopted into the Church, which, at the Day of Pentecost, was formed of Jews and Gentiles... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 1:10

Hosea 1:10. Yet the number, &c.— Though God casts off the ten tribes, yet he will in due time supply their loss by bringing in great numbers of true Israelites into the church, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles; and making them who before were strangers to the covenant of promise fellow-heirs with the Jews. The prophet plainly refers to the final restoration and admission of the Jews into the church of Christ. For these expressions are too magnificent to be understood of any... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 1:11

Hosea 1:11. And appoint themselves one head— The Lord Jesus Christ shall become the chief and the king of his church, composed of Judah and Israel, of Jews and Gentiles. This is the primary intention of the prophesy; which, however, (as we observed above,) secondarily may refer to the restoration of the Jews from Babylon, and their reunion under one head. We have seen on the fourth verse the meaning of the Word Jezreel. There was a still farther prediction comprehended under it, which regarded... read more

10. Literally fulfilled in part at the return from Babylon, in which many Israelites joined with Judah. Spiritually, the believing seed of Jacob or Israel, Gentiles as well as Jews, numerous "as the sand" ( :-); the Gentiles, once not God's people, becoming His "sons" (John 1:12; Romans 9:25; Romans 9:26; 1 Peter 2:10; 1 John 3:1). To be fulfilled in its literal fulness hereafter in Israel's restoration (1 John 3:1- :). the living God—opposed to their dead idols. read more

Though "appointed" by the Father (Ezekiel 34:23- :), Christ is in another sense "appointed" as their Head by His people,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:10

This verse begins chapter 2 in the Hebrew Bible. Despite the judgment promised, Yahweh revealed that the number of the Israelites would be as the sand of the sea (i.e., innumerable, cf. Genesis 22:17; Genesis 32:12). He also said that in the same place where they heard His word of rejection (Hosea 1:9) they would hear His word of acceptance, namely, in the land of Israel. They would again be sons of the living God. This family terminology points to the restoration of intimate covenant... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:11

The Northern and Southern Kingdoms would reunite, and they would have only one king instead of two (cf. Hosea 3:5; 2 Samuel 7:11-16; Isaiah 9:6-7; Ezekiel 37:22; Amos 9:11; Micah 5:2). They would also go up from the land, probably in the sense of growing strong in the land, as a plant. [Note: See Robert B. Chisholm Jr., "Hosea," in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old Testament, pp. 1381-82.] When this happens it will be a great day for Jezree. As Jezreel was a place of former victory for Israel... read more
