[1] Definitions of names used instead of the names themselves. Gomer means "complete" and complete can be interpreted as: to end/bring about an/the end, to make whole, to finish and restore.
 
Gomer's father's name is Diblayim and his name means: two fig cakes. These cakes are defined in Jastrows as mounds of fig that are pressed together. It could be interpreted that "the house of Diblayim" is a divided house.
 
The fig tree is a symbol of Israel and is used often. Thus, The Deliverer will Make Whole the house of Two Figs, meaning: The Deliverer will restore/complete the divided house as one.
