Today I’ll be preaching on Hosea
Author & Text
Hosea, son of Beeri is a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel.
It is believed that he is from Samaria.
His prophecies were at the time when the nation was divided from the kingdom of Judah in the south.
From the kings mentioned, it seems that he preaches his message for 30 years before the downfall of Israel.
Only Jeroboam II (king of Israel) was mentioned, but several kings of Judah are named.
This is probably because Hosea believes that the kings of Judah are the true royal line descending from the great King David.
His message is dating back in 722 BC. when Israel is prosperous, proud and pagan.
God’s message to Israel through Hosea is that his people are committing spiritual adultery.
There are festivals at which worshippers of Baal & Asherah, have sex with sacred prostitutes to stimulate fertility of the land and animals.
Hosea was married to an unfaithful wife Gomer.
She ultimately left Hosea and their 3 children to live with a series of other men.
Yet Hosea continued to care for her.
He even helped her in times of her financial need.
She eventually became a bondservant, but Hosea paid the price to buy her back, and took her home to live with him.
