HHMI ~ Two Houses and NT ~ Pt 27 ~ Vision of Unclean Animals ~ Prophetic Picture of Northern Kingdom

He fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Acts 10:10-15 God gave a certificate of divorce to the Northern kingdom (Jer 3:8). This nation has behaved as a harlot. The book of Hosea is written to the Northern Kingdom. Hosea is told by the Lord to take for himself a harlot as a wife. She is a prophetic picture of the spiritual condition of the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom gets taken into captivity by Assyria. While in exile in Assyria, the 10 tribes of the north eat that which is unclean (Hosea 9:3). They are likened to be as “unclean animals”: Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about. Ezek 8: 8-10 Yet, God promises that what was once pronounced as a people who are “unclean” and “not my people” will become “clean” and will become “sons of the living God” (Hosea 1:10), and, in times past, she has played the harlot (Hosea 2:5) she becomes the betrothed unto Messiah Yeshua forever (Hosea 2:19).
