  2. Explication du texte

To what day is Hosea referring with the words “that day”?

Osée 2:18 (NEG79)

18 En ce jour-là, dit l'Eternel, tu m'appelleras: Mon mari! et tu ne m'appelleras plus: Mon maître!

Osée 2:23 (NEG79)

23 En ce jour-là, j'exaucerai, dit l'Eternel, j'exaucerai les cieux, et ils exauceront la terre;

We have already come across this language in Hosea 1:11, where God promises restoration to Israel on the “day of Jezreel.” This is the same day being spoken of here, and it refers to a future time when this promise of marital reunion will take place. It is a day that comes after judgment has been meted out and all idolatry has been purged. Ultimately, it points to the final consummation, when God will purify his bride (Revelation 22:14–15), meeting his church face to face.1
