d. and [Strong: 853 * 'eth ayth apparent contracted

c. Jezreel [Strong: 3157 * Yizr`e'l yiz-reh-ale'
from 2232 and 410; God will sow; Jizreel, the name of two places in Palestine
and of two Israelites:--Jezreel.]
1). Hosea 1:11 declares the “great shall be the day
of Jezreel.” It will be great because the earth and the universe are responding
to the voice of God, God sows. It refers directly to the restoration of a
united Israel.
a). Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and
the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head,
and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of
Jezreel.
2). Immediately what comes to mind is a passage in
Romans.
a). Romans 11:12-15 Now if the fall of them be
the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the
Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am
the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office.
11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation
them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
11:15 For if the casting away of them be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from
the dead?
3). A removal of the curse upon earth because of
man’s sin.
a). Genesis 3:14-19 And the Lord God said unto the
serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and
above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life:
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.
3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth
to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
b). Hosea 4:1-3 Hear the word of the LORD, ye
children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the
land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
4:2 Bt swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing,
and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one
that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with
the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea shall be taken away.
c). Romans 8:19-22 For the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity,
not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be
delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children
of God.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until now.
