The Lord's Mercy on Israel
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; Hos. 2:21
in that day... In that day and at that day are characteristic of Isaiah in whose book they are found 53 times compared to the 4 in Hosea (Hos. 2:1:5; 2:16, 2:18, 2:21).
I will hear,... These statements express prosperity (Hos. 2:21-22).
A reversal of circumstances (compare 1:4, 6, 9).
This is speaking of the time when the door to heaven is opened. God has access to the people, and we have access to Him.
Renewed blessing
The promise of restored agricultural blessing, mentioned briefly in Hos. 2:15, is expanded here. A series of cries and responses is envisioned as different elements of the natural world are personified.
