Hosea 7
June 22, 2006
*Intro:* The reason we so diligently go through God’s Word, Is so that
God’s Word would go through us.
*A- That the Holy Spirit would, **through the word, do a work*
* IN US and then THROUGH US.*
* *1- So, when it comes to this thought HOW YA DOING?
a- *Or better yet:* HOW YA LOKING?
*Read James 1:22-25*
* 2- SO why look into this “mirror”.*
* *a- *Because we need to know* the Truth as
opposed to the Lie.
b- *So that we would know* Purity as opposed to
Imperfection.
c- *That we would perceive* Light as opposed to
Darkness.
d- *That we would understand* the standard of
Right (righteousness) as opposed to Wrong.
- *KNOW THIS:* Face to face with God’s word
is face to face with God.
*> Chapters 6 & 7 are married together:*
* A- The theme of last weeks teaching, lied in the question:*
*Are you a **contender?*
*OR*
*Are you a **pretender?*
1- Last week we saw Israel as the “Great Pretender”
a- They seemed to be Spiritual but if they would
have looked into God’s mirror, it was just a
bunch of Religious Routine.
- We saw 3 things in their Counterfeit
Repentance:
*#1- There was no **acknowledgement of sin.*
*#2- THEY were LOOKING FOR A QUICK FIX. *
*#3- And THEY CONSIDERED FORGIVENESS TO BE A*
* MECHANICAL THING.*
* *
*> SO, the problem with Early **Israel** (denomination or movement) *
* they stopped looking into God’s mirror and now were relying *
* on recollection of what they looked like.*
* A- SO, if I had to, describe myself to a blind person *
* based upon my memory.*
* *1- *My memory of myself:* It’s what I looked like in High
School.
a- A full head of shoulder length hair.
b- A chiseled physique.
c- An able bodied young man.
*Me =* I remember my self as an Italian Stallion.
*God =* He sees me as an old pack mule destine for the glue factory.
2- *Another thing when going by memory: *I’ll look at
you today, remembering the old me, and consider my
present self to be so much the better.
a- *To avoid this:* I open up the bible bus every day
and take a good look at myself and
- Lack of locks, Bit of a belly, and Surrendered
Shape.
a- BUT even more than that I see
JESUS.
*B- If **Israel** saw their correct likeness = PROSTITUTE.*
*> In order to prove this point the Prophet uses 4 metaphors of *
* Description.
(*they didn’t get the prostitution thing*)*
*#1- One of an **overwhelming OVEN.*
*#2- Another of a HALF BAKED CAKE.*
*#3- Another simile of a **Dumb Dove.*
*#4- And one of a **undependable bow.*
* *
*Read Verse 1-3*
*A- **Pretender or Contender God knows and the truth and it stands out like a sore thumb.
*
* *1- *Me and the* Chiquita banana sticker.
*Read Malachi 2:1-3*
*> The 1st descriptive metaphor is an **overwhelming OVEN.*
*Read Verses 4-7*
* A- What is the function that an oven is to perform???*
* *1- *It contains the fire that either:* completes or
consumes.
a- This oven of fire is compared to the heart of fire
of man.
* 2- How does yours burn???*
b- In a consuming manner.
- *Those who’s heart burns for:* Sports,
Work, Lusts, to the detriment of things
Spiritual.
*Isaiah 33:10-13, *“Now I will rise,” says the Lord; “Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up.
You shall conceive chaff, You shall bring forth stubble; Your breath, /as/ fire, shall devour you.
And the people shall be /like/ the burnings of lime; /Like/ thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
Hear, you /who are/ afar off, what I have done; And you /who are/ near, acknowledge My might.”
c- Or does your heart burn in a completing manner
*Luke 24:32, *And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”
- Which oven are you??? (Consuming-
completing)
3- *Case in point:* 8 or Israel’s kings were assonated by
their successor.
*Matthew **23:15**, *“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
*#2- The 2nd metaphor is that of a HALF BAKED CAKE.*
*Read Verses 8-10*
*> There are really 2 pictures here.*
* A- There is the problem with the baking but 1st the mixture*
* is off.*
* *
* *1- Ever eat a pancake where the ingredients where not
completely mixed together???
a- A clump of baking soda!
