1:1) Word of the LORD came to Hosea over 66 years
- Back then time was tracked during the reigns of kings, since Christ came we only track time according to Jesus Christ (790-724 before Christ).
- Joel, Isaiah, Amos, Obadiah, Micah same period of time
2-3) LORD speak through Hosea, "God marry a promiscuous woman (Gomer) and have children"
- land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the LORD
4-5) "Call him Jezreel, punish and end the kingdom of Israel, break Israel bow in Valley of Jezreel"
6-7) Gomer daughter "call her Lo-Ruhamah ("not-loved") no longer show love to Israel (forgiveness), yet Judah love, saved by LORD their God
8-9) Gomer son 2, Lo-Ammi ("not my people"), you are not my people, I am not your God
- Hosea 1:10) Yet Israelites will be like sand on seashore, unmeasurable, uncountable; children of the living god
- "undivided heart, new spirit in them", Ezekiel 11:19-20,
- "Once not a people, now people of God",1 Peter 2:10, Romans 9:26, (In my study of Peter's letters and Romans I skipped these blessed words)
- This is how you'll know the living God is among you (Joshua 3:9-13)
11) People of Judah, together, appointed leader, great day of Jezreel
