Exegesis:Hosea 6:3
And let us acknowledge YAH. Let us pursue YAH towards wisdom together with YHVH. As dawn rises we are firmly fixed – He is our exit! And to come as rained upon for itself is the spring rain, to become His people.
(Dalton) To acknowledge YHVH is to love Him more than anything. In acknowledging Him we acknowledge that His precepts are supreme and that they are Truth beyond all interpretation and sophistry. We must fellowship together in a joint pursuit of YHVH towards wisdom as a congregation, as a family, in Ruach, together with YHVH. The dawn that approaches for the Eternal Rest, upon that moment we are firmly fixed.
We must remember that HE ALONE is our exit! The Creator of the Universe does the appointing of the Messiah, not us. We must accept His Messiah. For when we do this, we have to also accept the Commandments and the Faith that this rain that He will provide will wash us.
This rain is like the circumcision of the heart (Deut. 10:16). Entering into the covenant as Abraham did, and as a Gentile he obeyed everything that YHVH commanded him (Gen. 26:4-5) this included the circumcision of the flesh (Gen. 17:9-14) at 99 years old. Thus, Abraham was circumcised both ways. When we read of the Prince's Reign and His Temple, both Jew and Gentile will be circumcised in heart and flesh (Ezek. 44) in order to enter into the temple. What can we learn from the circumcision of the flesh?
There are no bones in the male member, therefore, no bones can be broken. The Passover Lamb must not have any bones broken (Exo. 12:46) and the Anointed One will have no bones broken (Ps. 34:20). The male member is a member of the body just like an arm or a leg, and when the foreskin is cut, it bleeds. How can we have missed this imagery and lesson in the word of The Prince of The Most High? Circumcision's blood is how we enter into the covenant in our flesh and it reminds us of how the Passover Lamb's blood preserved the seed promised (Gen. 3:15) in the Exodus from Egypt and as to ultimately bring about the renewal of the covenant in the blood that was shed out of mercies and compassions of unfathomable depths (Jer 31:31-33).
These then both speak to the blood and the water from the pierced side. We need them both. For as water can be a symbol of judgment (Noah's Story) it can also be a symbol of becoming washed and clean. As blood can be a symbol of iniquities it can also be a symbol of the shed blood of the Lamb.
With this cleansing rain coupled with this pure, unblemished and life giving blood, we can become His people and He can be our exit from our chains of sin and unrighteous behavior.
