Types of the Second Wife, the Restoration of Israel as Beautiful Pleasing Wife
The story of Gomer, in which comparison is made that Israel is depicted as a faithless wife:
The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD Hosea 1:2
[The comparison of Israel as wife to the Lord is stated.]
Hosea 2:2-5 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children
5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Hosea 2:11-13 13I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them,
Hosea 2:19-23 19And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Hos. 4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,... Hosea 4:15
Hos. 9:1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God,... Hosea 9:1
The story of Vashti and Esther
Vashti refused to obey her Lord and is replaced by second wife, beautiful Esther, the Jewess, in the End Times, and "kept throughout every generation .... these days of Purim should not fail from the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish":
Esther 1:9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
2:1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2:4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of 17 Vashti.
[Note: Esther, the second wife, pleases the king, and her people the Jews are saved, the enemy who tried to kill them is executed, as are all of his sons.]
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; Esther 9:25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he [Haman] devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Rachel, the Beloved Wife
Rachel, the second wife, is beloved, had been chosen from the beginning:
Leah was "tender eyed" (apparently means weak eyed), and that may point to the fact that Israel did not recognize her Messiah.
The reason Jacob's chosen bride did not become his first wife was due to deceit.
Gen. 29:10-11 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. [Jacob loved Rachel deeply.]
Jacob had wanted to marry Rachel, and did not let circumstances or time prevent their marriage.
Gen. 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
In the same way, the Lord has waited for His beloved Israel.
The Barren Wife: Hannah and her children
Elkanah had two wives, and one was Hannah, whose name means favor or grace, and she was barren.
I Sam. 1:2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. 4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah:
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? [This reminds me of Ruth 4:25, the words of Naomi's neighbor, who said " And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him."]
Hannah produces a son, Samuel, whose name means ' name of God' and she dedicates Samuel to the Lord, to serve Him in the temple. Hannah then has five other children.
Perhaps Hannah the barren wife can be likened to restored, fruitful Israel.
The story of Gomer, in which comparison is made that Israel is depicted as a faithless wife:
