Hosea 3

Comments

Israel looked to other gods, other ruling judges to decide right and wrong and rule over the people.

He equates this adultery with having "a king, and... a prince and ... a sacrifice, and... an image(as monument, or station), and ... an ephod(priestly garment, representative of an office), and .... teraphim(idolatry, idols, image(s), a giant or something associated with a remedy or healing)"

After they abstains from these systems that offer the wages of unrighteousness they can again return to the Lord.

[[1]]

1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

Hosea Today audio is about Hosea 4:6 Lack of knowledge; Learn through Humility? Facts matter... follow the Straight way; Act upon truth; Salvation if we be doer of God's word not looking to "gods" many. Do modern Christians "Worship" Satan and his world? John 10:3; Do we Curse children engage in Foolishness of Humpty Dumpty, Exercise authority or Nurture mercy(Hosea 6:6)? Put on God's armor there is no Utopia. From Adam and Eve to the Tens to be Perfected in Christ Sophistry was the enemy. The Spirit of the "Gulag" and Mao lives today in The War on Poverty; Offices of power vs service. No king in Israel; Hosea 10:3; unrighteous mammon; Electing the perfect king(1 Samuel 8(? What's righteous?; Alice's adventures; Calling good evil -> persecution; Hosea 10:4; The love of felons. Acts 19:26; Religion, Temples; Altars; Red Heifer; Admitting you've been deceived and deluded; Kingdoms divided not gathering as Christ "commanded"; Repent and seek the kingdom or Catastrophic consequences; Fear not!
