Truth:
1. Hosea 4-6 covers the sins of the apostate people, the punishment of Jehovah, and the return of the apostate people.
2. The two days in Hosea 6:2 might signify the first 2 periods of a thousand years each, counting from A.D. 70, when the Roman prince Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, cruelly killed thousands of Jews, and scattered the Jews among the nations.
3. The third day in 6:2 might signify the third period of a thousand years, that is, the millennium, the age of restoration, in the reality of Christ's resurrection.
4. From the time Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded Israel in 606 B.C., three things have been taking place on earth.  The first is God's loving chastisement over His dear elect Israel, and the second is God's punishment on all the nations.  These two things bring in the third thing -- the manifestation of Christ, which will bring in a fourth thing, the age of restoration.
5. Christ's goings forth are His coming.

Life experience/Application:
1. Christ's goings forth, His coming, have not ceased.  Even today He is still coming.
