Hosea1:11
11. Judah ... Israel ... together--(Is 11:12, 13; Jr 3:18; Eze 34:23; 37:16-24).
one head--Zerubbabel typically; Christ antitypically, under whom alone Israel and Judah are joined, the "Head" of the Church (Ep 1:22; 5:23), and of the hereafter united kingdom of Judah and Israel (Jr 34:5, 6; Eze 34:23). Though "appointed" by the Father (Psa 2:6), Christ is in another sense "appointed" as their Head by His people, when they accept and embrace Him as such.

the day of Jezreel--"The day of one" is the time of God's special visitation of him, either in wrath or in mercy. Here "Jezreel" is in a different sense from that in Ho 1:4, "God will sow," not "God will scatter"; they shall be the seed of God, planted by God again in their own land (Jr 24:6; 31:28; 32:41; Am 9:15).
