Hosea 6:2

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Primarily, in type, Israel's national revival, in a short period (" two or three" being used to denote a few days, ; Luke 13:32, "I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following"); antitypically the language is so framed as to refer in its full accuracy only to Messiah, the ideal Israel (; the "Son called out of Egypt," as "Israel" was: cf. , with ), raised on the third day (, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up;" , "He rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures; cf. ). Compare the similar use of Israel's political resurrection as the type of the general resurrection, of which "Christ's resurrection is the first-fruits" (; Ezekiel 37:1; 1 Corinthians 15:22; ).

We shall live in his sight - enjoy his favour and the light of his countenance shining on us as of old; in contrast to ; , "He hath withdrawn himself from them."
