Hosea 1-7, Psalm 108
from Commuter Bible · host John Ross
Not much is known about the prophet Hosea, save what is mentioned in this record of his prophecies. By referencing the Kings under which he prophesied, we can see that his ministry lasted around 40 years. Like Amos, Hosea spoke to the nation of Israel, often referenced as “Ephraim” in this book, under a time of lavish wealth and disparate poverty. Israel was being unfaithful to their God, and like the unfaithful nation the Lord has committed himself to love, Hosea is commanded to marry an unfaithful woman. Hosea’s pursuit of his unfaithful wife serves as a parallel to God’s pursuit of unfaithful Israel. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/[email protected]
