Does Hosea 6:2 place the Second Coming of the Christ at 3000 AD?

In my opinion, this passage in Hosea has three fulfillments:

1. The death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ ca 33 AD
2. The restoration of Israel as a Nation in 1948
3. The second coming of Christ between 2033 AD and 3000 AD (but likely well BEFORE 3000 AD)

Because Jesus was in the tomb for parts of three days, not 72 hours, the third fulfillment (the second coming) will happen after two complete millennia and part of a third millennium, hence after 2033 AD but before 3000 AD.

The second fulfillment is the interesting one. I discuss this on pp. 559-562 of Peace, like Solomon never Knew (2022). A key component of the thesis of that book is that Solomon's twenty-eight times from Ecclesiastes 3 are a schema for the history of Israel and the Church. That passage defines a framework for time and the prophetic vocabulary. Then the prophets, including Hosea, make references to those words to indicate the time in history when they will be fulfilled.

Solomon's clock begins in 960 BC with the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Then each time lasts 120 years. By this timetable, here are some key historical events lined up against Solomon's times:

960-840 BC: A time to be born. The kingdom splits in civil war, giving birth to Israel in the north.

840-720 BC: A time to die. Assyrian captivity destroys Israel, which "dies".

720-600 BC: A time to plant. Judah flourishes under Kings Hezekiah, Josiah.

600-480 BC: A time to uproot. Babylonian Captivity uproots Judah.

480-360 BC: A time to kill. Queen Esther prevents genocide of Jews; their enemies are killed instead.

SKIPPING AHEAD...

1-120 AD: A time to weep. Jesus crucified, Jerusalem destroyed by Rome, etc.

SKIPPING...

360-480 AD: A time to dance. Roman persecution of Christians end and the Roman Empire becomes a Christian empire.

SKIPPING...

1440-1560 AD: A time to tear. The tearing is the Protestant Reformation and civil war within Christendom. Also, Jews expelled from Spain and caught up in the persecutions of the times.

1560-1680 AD: A time to mend. The General Crisis begins to subside and the Thirty Years War ends. The Peace of Westphalia begins a trend towards religious toleration. A safe harbor for the Jews is carved out in the Netherlands.

1680-1800 AD: A time to be silent. The Pietism Movement and American Great Awakening are a time for people to listen to God.

1800-1920 AD: A time to speak. Christianity's great missionary age begins. The means to speak are multiplied with the invention of telegraph, telephone, radio and motion pictures. The Hebrew language is resurrected by the Jews and becomes again the spoken language of the Jewish people.

1920-2040 AD: A time to love. God pours out his love on an undeserving world, extending lives, reducing poverty, ending slavery, increasing the food supply, providing opportunities for education to billions. And the Lord restored the land to Israel, which regained sovereignty over Jerusalem for the first time in over 1500 years.

With the above timetable, you can see this crucial sequence of times:

tear ... mend ... be silent ... speak ... love

Now look at Hosea again:

“Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
    but he will heal us;
he has injured us
    but he will bind up our wounds.
2 After two days he will revive us;
    on the third day he will restore us,
    that we may live in his presence. (Hosea 6:1-2)

The parallelism of "he has torn" and "he has injured" matches "a time to tear". That was the Reformation era.

The parallelism of "he will heal" and "he will bind up" matches "a time to mend". That was the post-Reformation period of the Peace of Westphalia. Some Christian monarchs began to tolerate the Jews, like Maria Theresa of Austria.

Then "after two days he will revive us" means skip "a time to be silent" and get to "a time to speak". This is when the Ottoman Empire reformed their land laws and permitted Jews to purchase land in Palestine. The First Zionist Congress was held in the 1890's. Jews began to speak about returning to Israel.

"On the third day he will restore us" is "a time to love", when God restored the land to the Jews and Israel was reborn.

By this logic, Hosea prophesied to within a century the time when Israel would receive back their nation, more than two thousand years before it happened. Not only that, he described several hundred years of the process. Seeing this amazed me...

Addendum: Concerning the day and the hour

Jesus famously told his disciples that no one knows the day or the hour of his return, only the Father, which the above ideas seem to contradict. Here is an answer to that charge:

1. The fact that Jesus made such a statement indicates that there are prophecies in the Bible that suggest when he might return, hence giving people false expectations. They establish patterns of history. Jesus is not denying the existence of Biblical patterns, but declaring that his final return will be a departure from those patterns.
2. The Holy Spirit is progressively revealing new truth from the existing pages of Scripture, as promised in John's gospel and elsewhere. If people in the first century church had this knowledge, they would know that Jesus would not return for a long time, thus refuting the doctrine of imminence. However, they did not have this information, thus imminence has been preserved. As history unfolds, we can look back and see that history has conformed to prophecies not understood then but made clearer now.
3. There is a certain symmetry in history. The Bible says that people in the beginning lived much longer that we do today. Consequently, some Bible patterns divide salvation history into longer chunks of time near the Creation, which shorten to the 120 years in the pattern I propose (which matches the words of Genesis spoken by God prior to Noah's flood). We now live in a day when medical advances may eventually (God permitting) lengthen our lifespans beyond 120 years once more. That would cause a stretching of the final times beyond 120 years in duration. In Matthew 24, Jesus said:

"21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short."

Thus we have stretching due to medical advances and shortening due to God's mercy towards the elect. How will these two opposing forces balance out? I do not know. They serve to preserve the doctrine of imminence while still allowing us to make sense of history according to Holy Writ.
