Hosea 2:21
_ _ in that day — of grace to Israel.
_ _ heavens ... hear the earth — personification. However many be the intermediate instruments, God is the Great First Cause of all nature’s phenomena. God had threatened (Hosea 2:9) He would take back His corn, His wine, etc. Here, on the contrary, God promises to hearken to the skies, as it were, supplicating Him to fill them with rain to pour on the earth; and that the skies again would hearken to the earth begging for a supply of the rain it requires; and again, that the earth would hearken to the corn, wine, and oil, begging it to bring them forth; and these again would hear Jezreel, that is, would fulfil Israel’s prayers for a supply of them. Israel is now no longer “Jezreel” in the sense, “God will SCATTER” (Hosea 1:4), but in the sense, “God will PLANT” (Hosea 1:11). |
Hosea 2:21
In that day — In the day of gospel — grace. I will hear — God the first and universal cause will influence the heavens, he will command their dew, and showers. When the earth is dry, it does as it were, cry to the heavens for refreshing showers, when the seed sown, the vines and olives planted, are at a stand, they cry to the earth for its kindly influences, that they may spring up, and yield fruit for Jezreel, which may call, and cry, but never will be satisfied if God does not hear them, and command his blessing which he promises to his people on renewing covenant with them. Now their repentance shall be blest with plenty, and God will set the frame of heaven and earth in due order to effect this; there shall be an harmony, between all subordinate causes moved by God the first great cause, whence expected events and fruits shall be produced for their good and comfort. |
Hosea 2:21
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear (z) the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
(z) Then will the heaven desire rain for the earth, which will bring forth things for the use of man. |
