The Elect and the Third Day
Hosea’s Prophetic Call to the Sons of Glory
From the Wilderness to Resurrection — Rising to Reign with Christ
The Spirit of the Lord is thundering from the pages of the prophets, and Hosea stands as a divine voice crying into the last days: “Come home, chosen one!” This is not a book for the casual believer — this is a prophetic trumpet for the Elect, those called, chosen, and destined to reign with Christ in the third day.
Hosea unveils the intimacy of God’s love, the wilderness transformation, and the glory of resurrection. He paints the Elect as a pursued Bride, a prodigal Son, a nation restored by mercy — and finally, a company of Sons raised to 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.” (Hosea 6:2)
This is the third day generation — awakened by mercy, cleansed by love, and crowned with destiny. They are no longer bound by mixture, no longer tossed between idols and truth — they are drawn by the cords of divine love and called to rise with Christ in power.
This book is a journey through Hosea’s vision — but even more, it is a blueprint for the Elect, a prophetic unveiling of what God is doing right now in His called-out Sons. It’s time to come up higher, time to see ourselves in the Word, and time to hear the call of Hosea for what it truly is:
A call to rise in the power of resurrection,
A call to reign with Christ in this third day,
A call to the Elect of God — Awakened. Purified. Ascended.
Let the journey begin.
Chapter 1: The Call of a Faithful Lover God’s Unfailing Love in the Midst of Unfaithfulness
Before Hosea ever prophesied a word, God gave him a living message — not a scroll or sermon, but a life experience. Hosea was commanded to marry Gomer, a woman given to harlotry. Why? Because God would reveal His heart through the agony of love rejected, the passion of love pursued, and the triumph of love restored.
“Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms… for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.” (Hosea 1:2)
This wasn’t about Hosea — it was about God and Israel. And prophetically, it’s about Christ and His Elect — those who have wandered, doubted, failed, but are still loved with an everlasting love.
In this divine picture, we see the mercy that endures every rebellion. We see the determination of the Lord to redeem His Bride, not by law or fear, but by the wooing of love. The Elect are not chosen because they never fell — they are chosen because they are the ones He refuses to give up on.
This chapter reveals:
The prophetic picture of Hosea and Gomer God’s heart breaking and burning with love for His people A revelation of how love pursues, restores, and transforms The Elect’s journey from rebellion to redemption
The journey of the Elect begins here — not with strength, but with brokenness kissed by mercy. For in the beginning of Hosea’s prophecy, we don’t just hear the voice of a man — we hear the voice of Jesus, saying to a wayward people:
“I will allure her… and speak comfortably unto her.” (Hosea 2:14)
This is the call of the Faithful Lover — and it still echoes today. Chapter 2: I Will Allure Her into the Wilderness
The Wilderness as God’s Classroom of Intimacy and Transformation
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.” (Hosea 2:14)
God doesn’t restore His elect with force — He allures them. He draws them gently, not into the palace first, but into the wilderness. The wilderness is not punishment — it’s preparation. It’s where distractions fall away, idols are exposed, and the voice of the Lord becomes undeniably clear.
This is the sacred place of reorientation — where the Elect forget the voices of religion and return to the voice of their first love. It’s the same wilderness where Jesus was driven before His public ministry, the same wilderness where John cried out preparing the way of the Lord.
In Hosea’s prophetic unveiling, the wilderness becomes: A place of divine romance, where God courts the soul A place of identity restoration, where He calls her “My beloved” again A place of new beginnings, where vineyards grow in dry valleys (Hosea 2:15) A place where the names of shame are reversed — Lo-Ammi becomes Ammi, and Lo-Ruhamah becomes Ruhamah
“And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi [Husband]…” (Hosea 2:16)
Here, we see the Elect coming out of Egypt again — not geographically, but spiritually. Leaving behind bondage, they enter a sacred wilderness where God reveals Himself not as Master, but as Husband.
The Elect are being called, not to survive in the wilderness — but to be intimately transformed by the voice of the Bridegroom who still whispers in lonely places.
The glory of Hosea’s revelation? The wilderness is not the end. It’s where the journey back into union begins. Chapter 3: Bought Back to Belong — The Power of Redeeming Love
From the Slave Market to the Marriage Covenant
“So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a homer of barley, and an half homer of barley.” (Hosea 3:2)
Here is the blazing heart of Hosea’s prophetic calling: he is commanded to buy back his unfaithful wife from slavery. This is no ordinary act — it is a prophetic portrayal of Christ’s redeeming love for His elect Bride.
The woman once bound by covenant has now sold herself into shame. Yet the word of the Lord comes, not with wrath — but with redemptive passion: “Go again, love her…” (Hosea 3:1).
In this moment, we see:
A picture of Jesus stepping into the marketplace of fallen humanity
A Bride enslaved by systems, traditions, and self-made gods A Redeemer who pays full price — not silver and barley, but His own blood
A covenant renewed, not in anger, but in mercy and restoration
The Elect of this hour are not merely church attendees — they are those who have heard His voice in their lowest place, and have been bought back by His unwavering love.
“Thou shalt abide for me many days… and I will be for thee.” (Hosea 3:3)
This speaks of exclusive intimacy — a season where the Bride is kept, sanctified, and drawn deeper into union. The Redeemer is not building a religion — He is preparing a Bride who has known both her fall and her resurrection.
To the Elect: you are not just forgiven — you’ve been purchased with purpose. And the One who bought you… still desires you. Chapter 4: No Knowledge of God — A People Perishing Without Revelation
From Religious Ritual to Intimate Knowing
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee…” (Hosea 4:6)
This is not a scolding from an angry God. This is the lament of a Loving Father whose heart is breaking for a people who have settled for form without fire, tradition without truth, ritual without revelation.
God is not speaking of academic knowledge or religious facts — this “knowledge” is intimate knowing — the same Hebrew word used for a husband knowing his wife.
In Hosea’s day, the priests had multiplied sacrifices but lost sight of the God they were offering them to. The altars were full, but the hearts were far.
And so the Lord cries out:
“There is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land…” (Hosea 4:1)
A priesthood that feeds on the sin of the people
A nation plunged into confusion and perversion
A culture with religion but without revelation
This is a mirror of our generation — where knowledge about God has replaced knowing God.
But the Elect are rising — a remnant not content to live on secondhand sermons, who cry out to know Him in spirit and in truth.
The Lord is forming a company in this hour that:
Doesn’t feed on the sins of the people, but feeds the people with the knowledge of Christ
Doesn’t multiply rituals, but becomes a living sacrifice Doesn’t traffic in religious words, but burns with firsthand revelation
“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord…” (Hosea 6:3)
To the Elect: this is your cry — not for more services, but for more of Him. Not for deeper theology, but for deeper intimacy. You are not perishing — you are pressing into the knowledge of the Holy. Chapter 5: The Valley of Achor — A Door of Hope for the Elect Where Judgment Becomes Redemption and Failure Births Intimacy
“And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope…” (Hosea 2:15)
The Valley of Achor — literally, the Valley of Trouble — was once the scene of Israel’s failure and judgment. It was the place where Achan’s sin brought defeat and death to the camp (Joshua 7).
But in Hosea’s vision, God transforms the place of shame into the place of breakthrough. What was once associated with judgment now becomes a door… a door of hope. This is the gospel hidden in the prophets:
God does not discard those who fail.
He redeems their trouble.
He brings forth a song from their wilderness.
“She shall sing there, as in the days of her youth…” (Hosea 2:15)
This is not just for Israel of old — this is for the Elect of this hour. For those who’ve walked through valleys of failure, shame, and loss — the Word of the Lord is clear:
Your Achor is becoming your Door.
Your trial is becoming your testimony.
Your barrenness is birthing intimacy.
Just as Hosea was called to love an unfaithful woman and woo her back to love, Christ is wooing His Elect back from the wilderness of religious striving into the vineyards of divine romance. In that valley:
We stop trusting in effort and start leaning into grace.
We stop rehearsing failure and start hearing His voice.
We are no longer betrothed to shame — but married to mercy.
To the sons of God — this is your prophetic inheritance: to declare hope in the valley, and open doors where others saw only trouble. Chapter 6: Come, Let Us Return to the Lord — The Rising of the Third Day
The Elect Company Awakens in Resurrection Glory
“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.”
— Hosea 6:1–2
This passage unveils a mystery of divine timing — one hidden in prophetic metaphor and destined to be fulfilled in the Elect. Hosea doesn’t merely call for national repentance — he prophetically reveals resurrection timing.
For two days (symbolic of 2,000 years), the people of God have walked through tearing, testing, and transition. But the third day — the prophetic Day of the Lord — ushers in resurrection life. Not just spiritual revival… but the manifestation of divine life and kingdom rule.
The Elect are not returning to religion. They’re returning to the Lord — to live in His sight.
This is not about going back to what was. It’s about stepping into what always was in Him — the place of union, identity, and glory. Consider what’s hidden in Hosea’s third-day vision:
Revival: “He will revive us” — restoration of the inner man.
Resurrection: “He will raise us up” — the overcoming life.
Reign: “We shall live in His sight” — walking in the unveiled presence.
This is a prophecy for the Elect company who shall:
Awaken to their true calling as sons.
Be raised in Christ’s own life.
Govern from the glory of His presence.
It’s not coming one day in the sky — it’s rising now in the hearts of the sons. The third day is not just about time — it’s about position. A people living in His sight, without shame or separation.
This is the Manchild anointing.
This is the Zion dimension.
This is the third-day glory arising in the Elect! Chapter 7: Ephraim Is a Cake Not Turned — The Half-Baked Church vs. the Fully Formed Sons God Will Not Anoint Mixture — He’s After Full Maturity
“Ephraim is a cake not turned.”
— Hosea 7:8
This short phrase carries a piercing rebuke — yet a powerful revelation. Ephraim represents a people of potential who have settled for immaturity, mixture, and incompleteness. They’ve been on the fire — but only on one side.
They’ve received Word, but not Spirit.
They’ve embraced truth, but not transformation.
They have form — but lack the substance of God’s life.
God is not interested in half-baked religion. He’s forming a full-grown son, not just a warm loaf with no glory inside.
This speaks to the in-part realm:
Apostles who never transition to overcomers.
Churches that start in Spirit but settle in tradition.
Believers who know about Christ — but never become Him.
Ephraim became a symbol of mixture:
Mixed with the nations (vs. purity).
Mixed religion with politics (vs. Kingdom).
Mixed faith with idolatry (vs. oneness with God).
But God is raising up a fully turned remnant:
Tried in fire on both sides.
Baked in the furnace of affliction — but formed in glory.
Balanced in Word and Spirit, death and resurrection, cross and crown.
This is the Manchild people — not lukewarm, not half-done, but full of Christ. God doesn’t crown cakes not turned. He crowns those who’ve been fully formed in the fire.
Let the Elect declare:
No more mixture. No more delay. I am bread for God. I will be fully turned, fully formed, and fully filled. Chapter 8: Returning to the Lord — A Call to the Elect to Know Him in Truth “Come, and Let Us Return Unto the Lord…”
Hosea 6:1
There is a holy summons sounding from the scroll of Hosea — not to the world first, but to the people of God who have wandered. Hosea cries out with prophetic clarity:
“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.” (Hos. 6:1)
This is not condemnation — this is invitation. God is not seeking to punish, but to restore. The tearing was not wrath — it was love. The smiting was not rejection — it was preparation. The Elect have often gone through deep seasons of breaking…
But that was not the end — it was the beginning of restoration.
God is calling a people who will:
Return not just to church attendance, but to divine union.
Know Him not by form, but by Spirit and truth.
Press past surface religion into intimacy, identity, and immortality.
“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord…” (Hos. 6:3)
This is a progressive unveiling — from glory to glory.
It’s a journey of revelation — until the Lord is known in the fullness of His appearing.
“His going forth is prepared as the morning…”
Just like the dawn, Christ is rising within His Elect — not all at once, but steadily, with increasing light.
And He shall come unto us as the latter rain — the outpouring of glory on the Sons of God.
This return is not to the Old Covenant, nor to legalism, nor to outward ritual.
It is a return to:
The heart of the Father,
The mind of Christ,
And the indwelling Spirit who is forming the Manchild within. This is Hosea’s cry to the Elect:
Come up higher. Return to the fullness. Know Him beyond religion. Be formed as the mature sons who rule in His name. Chapter 9: The Valley of Achor for a Door of Hope “And I will give her… the valley of Achor for a door of hope…”
Hosea 2:15
What a paradox! The valley of Achor, a place known for trouble, failure, and judgment, becomes the very location where hope is birthed.
In the natural, Achor (meaning “trouble”) was where Achan’s sin brought judgment in Joshua’s day. But in Hosea’s prophetic vision, God flips the narrative — and out of the place of deepest failure, a door opens. A door of hope, of restoration, of new beginnings. This is the heart of God’s redemptive nature:
He redeems trouble into triumph.
He transforms valleys into doors.
He uses the worst places to reveal His best glory.
To the Elect in this hour — many of whom have walked through dark valleys, deep betrayals, and misunderstood callings — the Spirit says:
“Your valley will not define you. It will position you.”
That place of trouble has softened your heart.
It has taught you to hear God’s voice in the wilderness.
It has removed the idols of false lovers.
It has made you ready for union with the Bridegroom.
“And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth…” (Hos. 2:15)
What used to be mourning will become singing. What used to be barrenness will become fruitfulness.
This is not the Church as usual — this is the Elect passing through Achor and stepping into divine hope — into the promise, the inheritance, the calling of the ages. Hosea reveals: The door of hope opens in the valley of death — and out of it, the Sons arise in glory.
Chapter 10: He Will Raise Us Up on the Third Day
“After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.”
— Hosea 6:2
This stunning prophetic utterance is far more than historical. It is a prophetic blueprint — a divine calendar encoded into Hosea’s scroll, pointing to the resurrection glory of the Elect in the third day.
The “two days” speak prophetically of:
Two thousand years of the Church age since Christ’s death and resurrection.
Two millennia of preparation, revival, in-part ministry, and waiting.
But the third day, the day of fullness, is now upon us. “He will raise us up…”
This is not only the historical resurrection of Christ — it is the manifest resurrection life in the Sons.
This is corporate resurrection.
This is the appearing of the Manchild company.
This is the Elect rising to live in His sight — no longer hidden, but unveiled in power. Living in His sight is the restoration of face-to-face union, walking in the glory that Adam lost, now fully restored in Christ.
Hosea is crying out across the centuries:
“The day of resurrection is not just behind you — it is now rising within you.”
This is the third day awakening.
This is tabernacles.
This is divine union, divine authority, and divine dominion — resurrection life flowing in mortal bodies, until death is swallowed up in victory.
Conclusion:
Hosea’s prophecy is not just about backsliding Israel — it is about the Elect Bride, purified and transformed, rising in the third day to rule with Christ. From wilderness to wedding, from valley to victory, from shame to sonship — Hosea has declared it.
The Elect are being raised up — to live in His sight — forever. Conclusion: From Harlotry to Holiness — The Bride Has Made Herself Ready
The book of Hosea is more than the story of a prophet and his unfaithful wife — it is the eternal story of God and His Elect. It is a prophetic unveiling of how the Lord takes what is barren, broken, unfaithful, and unloved, and transforms it into a vessel of glory, a Bride adorned with divine identity, no longer called Forsaken but Hephzibah — My Delight Is in Her.
This book began with Gomer’s shame and ended with God’s glory.
From wilderness wandering to bridal wooing.
From Baal to Bethel — the House of God.
From judgment to justification.
From death to resurrection.
The Sons of God, once estranged, now hear the Spirit’s cry:
“Come and return unto the Lord… He will raise us up… and we shall live in His sight.” (Hosea 6:1–2)
The Elect are not the leftovers.
They are the foreordained vessels of mercy, purified in fire, chosen in love, and sealed for the throne.
They have passed through the valley of Achor — and found the door of hope.
They have shed their idols — and become lovers of the Lamb.
They are no longer children of harlotry — they are sons and daughters of glory.
Hosea’s voice still echoes — as a trumpet in Zion — declaring:
“I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. I will be as the dew unto Israel. They shall grow as the lily… and their beauty shall be as the olive tree.” (Hosea 14)
Beloved,
The Elect Bride is rising.
The Manchild is being formed.
The third day is here.
And the Lord shall once again say to the nations…
“You are My people.”
And they shall say…
“You are my God.”
Hosea has spoken — the Vision shall now speak.
