| | Book of Hosea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hosea is believed to be the first prophet to use marriage as a metaphor of the covenant between God and Israel and influenced latter prophets such as Jeremiah. | | | The Book of Hosea is a book of the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament written by Hosea. | | | During Hosea's lifetime, the kings of the Northern Kingdom, their aristocratic supporters, and the priests had led the people in falling away from the Law of God, as given in the Pentateuch. |

| | Hosea's home life is described and it is a mirror to the nation of Israel and its relationship to God at that time. | | | Hosea's prophecies spoke of the desolations that would result from being unfaithful to God, and of God's promise to later restore Israel. | | | Hosea, according to the Bible book that bears his name, prophesied about 2750 years ago, during the reigns of the last two kings of Israel, shortly before Israel was conquered - and destroyed - by the Assyrian Empire. |

| | Hosea is careful to state that YHWH is the God who took them from Egypt and to the Promised Land (12:13) and that He is the only god the Israelites have ever known (13:4). | | | Hosea embraced the concept of a conditional covenant between Israel and YHWH. | | | In Hosea 1:3, the prophet is ordered to marry Gomer bat-Diblaim, who is described as a promiscuous woman (1:2). |

| | HOSEA - LoveToKnow Article on HOSEA |
| | 5 Hosea seems to comprise priests and prophets in one condemnation, thus placing himself in direct antagonism to all the leaders of the religious life of his nation. | | | We read in these chapters that Gods revelation to Hosea began when in accordance with a divine command he married a profligate wife, Gomen, the daughter of Diblaim. | | | As the tradition adds that he died there, and was buried in peace, the source of the story lies probably in some holy place shown as his grave. |

| | A Form-Critical Rereading of Hosea |
| | Hosea points especially to the kings of Israel as one of the fundamental causes for Israel's problems in that YHWH did not desire kingship for Israel in the first place and because the northern kings are so closely associated with the idolatry and violence that Hosea perceives throughout the land (see esp. Hos 8:1-6). | | | Wolff, Hosea 28, who understands this verse as an address to the people of the northern kingdom, but it is precisely the people of the northern kingdom who are the objects, not the addressees, of this command. | | | This indicates that the book of Hosea may be initially addressed to Israel, but it addresses Judah as well, and it does so in a manner that defines the return of Israel to YHWH as a return of Israel to Judah and the house of David. |
