In the book of Hosea, Hosea’s wife Gomer represented Israel. Israel back then just as Israel is now, prostitutes herself to sin; however Yah still loves and accepts Israel back after everything that Israel has done. Look around and open your eyes, there is disobedience, lustful desires and fullfiment of those desires, false doctrines being taught, disharmony, etc. amongst the people. Hosea accepted his wife back after all that she did. He brought her back the same way that Yahshua brought us back when he gave his life for us.

Hosea 1

1 The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

² The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.

³ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.

⁴ And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

⁵ And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.

⁶ And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

⁷ But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

⁸ Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

⁹ Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

¹⁰ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

¹¹ Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Hosea 5

“Hear this, you priests. Pay attention, you leaders of Israel. Listen, you members of the royal family. Judgment has been handed down against you. For you have led the people into a snare
by worshiping the idols at Mizpah and Tabor.

² You have dug a deep pit to trap them at Acacia Grove. But I will settle with you for what you have done.

³ I know what you are like, O Ephraim. You cannot hide yourself from me, O Israel. You have left me as a prostitute leaves her husband;
you are utterly defiled.

⁴ Your deeds won’t let you return to your God. You are a prostitute through and through, and you do not know the Lord.

⁵ “The arrogance of Israel testifies against her; Israel and Ephraim will stumble under their load of guilt. Judah, too, will fall with them.

⁶ When they come with their flocks and herds to offer sacrifices to the Lord, they will not find him, because he has withdrawn from them.

⁷ They have betrayed the honor of the Lord, bearing children that are not his. Now their false religion will devour them along with their wealth.

⁸ “Sound the alarm in Gibeah! Blow the trumpet in Ramah! Raise the battle cry in Beth-aven Lead on into battle, O warriors of Benjamin!

⁹ One thing is certain, Israel: On your day of punishment, you will become a heap of rubble.

¹⁰ “The leaders of Judah have become like thieves. So I will pour my anger on them like a waterfall.

¹¹ The people of Israel will be crushed and broken by my judgment because they are determined to worship idols.

¹² I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool. I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.

¹³ “When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were, Israel turned to Assyria—to the great king there—but he could neither help nor cure them.

¹⁴ I will be like a lion to Israel, like a strong young lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces! I will carry them off, and no one will be left to rescue them.

¹⁵ Then I will return to my place until they admit their guilt and turn to me. For as soon as trouble comes, they will earnestly search for me.”

We cannot remain our old selves brothers and sisters; we must become a new creature in Yahshua. Israel has played the role of the harlot long enough it is time to stop. Time is running out and we are running out of chances. The Most High has remained patient however His patience is running out and soon His wrath will come. The world is trying His patience and He is going to give them exactly what they are asking for destruction. Israel do not be like the world you are a set a part people. Judgment is going to start in the house of Israel first.

1 Peter 4:12-19

¹² Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.

¹³ Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

¹⁴ If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.

¹⁵ If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs.

¹⁶ But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!

¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News?

¹⁸ And also, “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?”

¹⁹ So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

The father will not forsake us. Look around we will be redeemed however we must stop being disobedient.

Hosea 3

Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.”

² So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.

³ Then I said to her, “You must live in my house for many days and stop your prostitution. During this time, you will not have sexual relations with anyone, not even with me.”

⁴ This shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars, priests, or even idols!

⁵ But afterward the people will return and devote themselves to the Lord their God and to David’s descendant, their king. In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the Lord and of his goodness.

Hosea 6

“Come; let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.

² In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.

³ Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

⁴ “O Israel and Judah, what should I do with you?” asks the Lord. “For your love vanishes like the morning mist and disappears like dew in the sunlight.

⁵ I sent my prophets to cut you to pieces—to slaughter you with my words, with judgments as inescapable as light.

⁶ I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.

⁷ But like Adam, you broke my covenant and betrayed my trust.

⁸ “Gilead is a city of sinners, tracked with footprints of blood.

⁹ Priests form bands of robbers, waiting in ambush for their victims. They murder travelers along the road to Shechem and practice every kind of sin.

¹⁰ Yes, I have seen something horrible in Ephraim and Israel: My people are defiled by prostituting themselves with other gods!

¹¹ “O Judah, a harvest of punishment is also waiting for you, though I wanted to restore the fortunes of my people.

Hosea 11

“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt.

² But the more I called to him, the farther he moved from me, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal and burning incense to idols.

³ I myself taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him.

⁴ I led Israel along with my ropes of kindness and love. I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I myself stooped to feed him.

⁵ “But since my people refuse to return to me, they will return to Egypt and will be forced to serve Assyria.

⁶ War will swirl through their cities; their enemies will crash through their gates. They will destroy them, trapping them in their own evil plans.

⁷ For my people are determined to desert me. They call me the Most High, but they don’t truly honor me.

⁸ “Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.

⁹ No, I will not unleash my fierce anger. I will not completely destroy Israel, for I am God and not a mere mortal. I am the Holy One living among you, and I will not come to destroy.

¹⁰ For someday the people will follow me. I, the Lord, will roar like a lion. And when I roar, my people will return trembling from the west.

¹¹ Like a flock of birds, they will come from Egypt. Trembling like doves, they will return from Assyria. And I will bring them home again,” says the Lord.

Hosea 14

Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sins have brought you down.

² Bring your confessions, and return to the Lord. Say to him, “Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so that we may offer you our praises.

³ Assyria cannot save us, nor can our warhorses.
Never again will we say to the idols we have made, ‘You are our gods.’ No, in you alone do the orphans find mercy.

⁴ The Lord says, “Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever.

⁵ I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon.

⁶ Its branches will spread out like beautiful olive trees, as fragrant as the cedars of Lebanon.

⁷ My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon.

⁸ “O Israel, stay away from idols! I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from me.”

⁹ Let those who are wise understand these things.
Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.

2 Corinthians 5:17 – 21

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

¹⁸ And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

²¹ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We have to come out of the false doctrines and bring harmony and unity amongst each other. How can we expect the Most High to move within the people if we cannot even come together and agree on minor subject matters?

Ephesians 4:2 – 6

² Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

³ Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

⁴ For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

⁵ There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.

Matthew 20: 18-20

¹⁸ Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

2 Chronicles 7:14-15

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

¹⁵ Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

We need to be focused on being obedient to the Most High and keeping the Commandments.
