I believe these scriptures to be talking about God's visible church, Zion, The 144,000, the remnant, those of his elect that he has revealed the truths of the doctrine of Christ. They had been scattered throughout the land and had been without the fellowship of their God, and he is drawing them back together again to Zion.

If you look further on in the prophecy we see it points to the time of Christ, the gospel being proclaimed and the bringing in of the tribes mentioned in James letter (which John in the book of revelation name symbolically the 144.000):
Jer 31:15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Paul stated the salvation of the remnant would be a short work:
Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

All of Jacob, surnamed Israel, will be delivered to eternal heaven. All Israel is not of Israel, Rom 9:6. The remnant of Jacob/Israel will be delivered here in time to understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Jacob/Israel is representative of all of God's elect, Rom 9:11.
These scriptures harmonize with Matt 7 about the two gates.

Hosea 2:14-15
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her. I will give her her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
Judges 19:1-3
And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months. Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her [and] bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him.
