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.
Hosea 1:2 The
beginning of the word of the Lord
by Hosea. And the Lord
said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms (prostitute)
and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great
whoredom, departing from the Lord.
-Go and marry
a prostitute. Even have kids with her.
(Hosea
3:1, NLT) Then the Lord
said to me, “Go and love your wife again, (unconditional
love) 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.”
-Even
though she is going to cheat on you time & time again, love her
anyway. (Romans 11:33) ‘his ways past finding out) (Ex: talk shows &
movie- (Romans 5:8) “yet sinners, Christ died for us).
-What
it means to love someone. (Jesus hanging on the cross) This shows
God’s commitment. Jeremiah 3:14 “Turn,
O backsliding children, saith the Lord;
for I am married unto you”
Hosea 3:2 So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.
Hosea 3:3 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.”

-Jesus paid
the greatest cost for us. He even prayed for those beating, spitting
& nailing him!

shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or
prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars,
priests, or even idols!
Hosea 3:5 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. (Wonder, Why he loves me so much?

walls, barriers, locked doors-hurt pain, abuse their love.

-With
patience, love, Chastisement, I have loved you. Even though you go
astray & do things your own way.
-Many
take Love for granted. (YouTube videos, the world mocks (Matt. 24:40-41) ‘one taken & one left) (Hebrews 13:17) “for they watch
for your souls, for they watch for your souls.”)
