The Third Day
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.


In shadow, the prophecy was never fulfilled to Israel at all. The Ten Tribes were never restored. Unto the Two Tribes what a mere shadow was the restoration from Babylon, that it should be spoken of as the gift of life, or of resurrection! The strictest explanation is the truest. The "two days" and the "third day" have nothing in history to correspond with them, except that in which they were fulfilled, when Christ, "rising on the third day from the grave, raised with Him the whole human race."

(E. B. Pusey, D. D.)
