Hosea's Prophecy (Part One)
Hosea 1:1-2:23Hosea was ordered by God to make a symbolic marriage to a harlot. This heartbreaking marriage portrayed Israel's unfaithfulness to God in spite of His care.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Two)
Hosea 3:1-5; 4:1-19Hosea is an account of Israel's unfaithfulness to the covenant with God, and the redemptive work of God to rescue His unfaithful spouse from slavery.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Three)
Hosea 5:1 to 7:16Modern Israel has a form of religion, but it is empty and unsatisfying because it refuses to obey God and substitutes the traditions of man in its place.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Four)
Hosea 8 and 9Both Israel and Judah during Hosea's time adopted paganism from the surrounding nations. Syncretistic religion blends paganism and Christianity.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Five)
Hosea 10-12:1Israel demonstrates divided loyalties, vacillating between God and the world, veering more toward the world, resembling a panting dog or a pleasure-bent prostitute.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Six)
Hosea 12-13Modern Israel is repeating the same sins as ancient Israel. God's metaphors of the promiscuous wife, stubborn heifer, and rebellious child all apply to America.
Hosea's Prophecy (Part Seven)
Hosea 13 and 14Nations, like individual people, die first in spirit and then physically. They seldom die cataclysmically, but in gradual, incremental stages.
