What’s Day Is It?

Hosea 6: 1 – 11

What’s day is it?

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth. 4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud, and like the early dew it goes away. 5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And your judgments are like light that goes forth. 6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7 “But like men they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me. 8 Gilead is a city of evildoers and defiled with blood. 9 As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they commit lewdness. 10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled. 11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, when I return the captives of My people.

We see in 2 Peter 3:8, ...that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, we look at the correlation between the 7 days of creation and the 7000 years that God has appointed for earth to go through with its many trials and experiences. We can read in God’s Word the generations that are recorded in the early books of the Bible. We have an exact record of the years between the patriarchs, such as Enoch lived 65 years and begat Methuselah, and Methuselah lived 187 years and begat Lamech, and Lamech lived 182 years and begat Noah, and so on. By using this dating record, we find from Adam to Abraham a period of exactly 2000 years, or if you want to put it in God’s time, it could be looked at as 2 days.

When we figure the generations from Abraham to the birth of Christ, we find a period of exactly 2000 years, or 2 more days in God’s time.

From the birth of Christ till present day time, we have a period of 2020 (Roman Time) years, or 2 days in God’s time.

These three segments equal 6 days.

Our Holy Father God did this as reported in Genesis 2, “1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. (finished in 6 days) 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.”

Considering that we have the last time called out in God’s Word defined as the 1000-year millennial reign, this would conclude that God’s time for man would be 7000 years or in His timing 7 days.

Houston, we have a problem! What exactly is the correct year we are now living? Well you will probably answer within a month it will be 2020. You see up to the time of our Lord Jesus Christ time was measured on a 360-day calendar. So, if you do the math from our Lord Jesus’ birth and continue to calculate time based on 360 days then the year will be in the year 1992. So, we are at 5992 years since the beginning of our time on earth.

Now at first you might say that in just 8 years we will reach the 3rd segment or third day of 2000 years or the end of 6 days or 6000 years.

The prophet Hosea tells of the 2nd Coming of our Lord Jesus and this 2-day waiting period. Hosea 6:1, “COME, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up,” (please note that the verse says ‘in’ the third day. We have only 8 years left in this third day folks) and we shall live in his sight.

Verse 1 speaks of Christ healing and binding our wounds, and Verse 2 tells of his return to raise us up to heaven.
