By Apostle Alex Adusei Agyemang Hosea 6:1-3AMP “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord, For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. “After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him. These are not days and times for the Christian to be living carnally. These are not times to busy yourself all about the things of this world at the expense of the Kingdom work for Jesus is coming very soon. Jesus is coming very soon because the Scripture cannot be broken. What is written is written; the Scripture cannot and won’t be broken. Therefore that which the prophets said, the time span given for the Master’s second coming is that which will happen. Jesus said, “Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God…..Matthew 22:29KJV” It’s imperative to understand the Scriptures. As long as God is concerned, He has declared the end from the beginning. He has shown you how and when it’s all going to end. When God was bringing forth prophetic utterances through Isaiah and the other prophets, He was declaring to you how and when it is going to end. “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure…..Isaiah 46:9-10KJV” So when you study the whole book of Isaiah, you find God declaring events of the end of the age. He was declaring through Isaiah, the end from the beginning but Isaiah was not the only prophet through whom God made a declaration about the end. As a matter of fact, He did it through all the prophets who had been. “ And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began….. Acts 3:20-21KJV” One of such other Prophets is Hosea. Don’t let anyone tell you that God didn’t give the time frame for the return of Jesus. Even regarding the first coming of Jesus to die on the cross, Daniel the Prophet gave specific details regarding the time of when it was going to happen. In the same vein, God through Hosea has already declared the time when Jesus will return. Hosea says, “God (Jesus) will come as a young lion to tear up Israel, for they will reject Him (they rejected Him and crucified Him). Therefore, He gave the nation of Israel over to afflictions for two days (2000years). At the end of the 2000 years, they will repent and He will revive them and raise the dead (the resurrection of the dead which culminates with Jesus second coming). On the third day (the millennium), we will live in His presence. We will live with Him on earth” This is what Hosea is saying in Hosea 5:15-6:1-3. When do you start counting the 2000 years? You count it right after the ascension of Jesus. Jesus ascended to Heaven in 30-33AD depending on how you do the math. Add 2000 years and it gives you 2030-2033AD. Which year are you now? You are in 2021AD. Ask yourself, how much time do I have? Jesus is coming; the King is coming very soon. Don’t live anyhow. Don’t mind carnal and worldly things. Be focused on that which is more important, the Kingdom work. Maranatha! Our Lord cometh God bless you! Confession I believe with my heart that Jesus is the very Son of God that He came to die for me and was raised up by God the Father. I confess Him as the Lord of my life from this day forward.
