Yes: it likely refers to just a relatively short period before the restoration of Israel and Judah if they "return to the LORD." It could also refer to the resurrection of Jesus as a literal three days. It's a little hard to see how it could refer to a period beginning about 800 years after the prophecy was given, when it is a call to return now to God.Concerning the 2,000 years between the resurrection of Christ and the tribulation. Is there another/better explanation for the prophecy of Hosea 5:15-6:2 ?
