Butler comments: What God did in reality and spiritually in Christ, he did typically and

temporally with Israel. The remnant of Israel, saved by the justifying mercy of God as it

exercised its faith and responded to this mercy, typified all the covenant people of God

(from all nations) in the Messianic age. Salvation is still by the grace and mercy of God to

all who will respond by an exercise of faith. But that faith must be exercised in conformity

to God’s revealed plan found now, for all nations and races, in the New Testament.

Hailey comments: Nothing is here said of their returning to Palestine. This word is a ray

of hope to be realized under the Messiah, through whom they would be called by the

gospel to peace and protection in Him. In fulfilling this prediction Hosea’s earlier

predictions will be fulfilled (1:11; 2:23; 3:5). They will have come to spiritual Zion (Heb.

12:22-28) to a heavenly fatherland (Phil. 3:20).
