158 Thrive Deeper: Hosea
The book of Hosea is mostly written in the form of Hebrew poetry. Hosea actually means ‘Salvation’ in Hebrew.
Hosea was a contemporary of Isaiah and Micah – at the time of Israel (Northern Kingdom) ruler Jeroboam 2. 750-722 BC.
Hosea is one of the most autobiographical of the prophetic Books in that the opening account of Hosea’s own marriage and family actually formed a vital part of his message.
The people of Israel (Ephraim) placed false hope in their own remedies.
Like farmers trying to sow in the wind. The seed would blow away and foreigners would take it.
Their idols, temples and fortresses would be destroyed and military alliances would drain them dry, enslave them, and carry them away.
Because of their rebellion and wickedness in trusting in the fertility cult of Baal, the Lord would reject them and make the people barren.
A Life that pleases God:
BUT . . . God stands ready to forgive and restore those who turn to Him in repentance.
