Signs, Wonders, Miracles 35 They would find themselves at the tail of the nations rather than at the head, and their lot in this position would be that of curses rather than blessings. And, though remnants of those scattered would, at times, leave the Gentile nations and return to their own land (a remnant was present 2,000 years ago, and another is present today), the nation — the whole nation, including any remnant in the land (Isa. 1:5-7) — would remain in the same spiritually sick condition, with the land desolate. Only the Lord could bring about healing — for both the people and the land — but in His time. And that’s what Hosea 5:13-6:2 is about — Israel’s present condition and that future time when the nation will repent, resulting in the nation being healed, along with the land. Note Hosea 6:1, 2 relative to Israel’s repentance and healing: “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. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.” Then, note the two things revealed in Hosea 5:15 which introduce Israel’s future repentance: 1) The two days begin with Israel’s “offense” (i.e., at the time that the Jewish people climaxed the nation’s disobedience — their pledging allegiance to a pagan Gentile king [Caesar], followed by the nation crucifying their true King [John 19:14-18]). 2) The two days then come to a close with the Jewish people seeking the Lord’s face during a time of “affliction” (during the coming Tribulation), receiving the Lord when He returns. Both the time of the Tribulation and the time when Israel will seek the Lord’s face will be two days (2,000 years) beyond the crucifixion of Christ, which occurred four days (4,000 years) beyond the creation of Adam. Thus, healing for the nation will occur after two days, on the third day (counting from Calvary), or after six days, on the seventh day (counting from Adam).
36 SIGNS IN JOHN’S GOSPEL As God worked six days to restore a ruined creation in the beginning and then rested the seventh day (Gen. 1:1-2:3), so is He presently working six more days to restore a subsequent ruined creation (6,000 years), with a view to resting the seventh day (the seventh 1,000-year period). And all subsequent sections of Scripture, such as Hosea 6:1, 2, merely rest upon and provide additional light for the foundational framework — showing the septenary structure of Scripture — set forth at the very beginning. Then, with all of the preceding in mind, note Isaiah chapter fifty-three. This chapter outlines Israel’s confession in that coming seventh day, following God’s healing of the nation: “Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?… Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed…” (vv. 1, 4, 5). It was this future condition of Israel which Isaiah (along with the other prophets) dealt with so extensively. And it was this future condition of Israel to which the miraculous signs throughout Scripture pointed, whether during Moses and Joshua’s day, during Elijah and Elisha’s day, or during the days of Christ and the apostles (both preceding and following the events of Calvary, during both the offer and reoffer of the kingdom). The central thought when the Spirit of God closed the Old Testament Canon pertained to Israel being healed [Mal. 4:2, 3], and this was likewise the central thought when the heavens were once again opened over four centuries later [Matt. 3:1, 2; 4:17, 23-25]. The New is simply a continuation and unveiling of that which has lain in the Old from the beginning. Do you want to understand the New? Then study the Old. Do you want to see Israel or the Christ of the New? Then view Israel or the nation’s Messiah in the eyes of the Old.
