The Claim: Hosea 3:5 is about Jesus and the "children of Jesus."You need to read hosea every chapter, by order.
Ethnic isreal given the opportunity as wife,
Gomer commit adultery.
God gives gomer 2nd chance to repent and come back,
Gomer continue unfaithful.
God's judgment on israel.
God send Jesus to ransom isreal, hosea 13:14, giving ethnic Israel another opportunity, 14:4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Whoever is wise....return to God.
As Peter, Paul, mary.... did.
Hosea 3:5 is about Jesus, and children of Jesus, fyi. Fear the Lord, return and seek God. This is the calling to ethnic Israel, even including today.
Not a secular system.
The Refutation: Hosea 3:5 states: "Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king."
"Children" refers to Israel: The text explicitly says "the children of Israel" (meaning the Israelites/Jewish descendants), not "children of Jesus."
"David their king": Historically, Hosea was speaking to the Northern Kingdom, which had broken away from the Davidic monarchy. Culturally and prophetically, "David" refers either to the restored Davidic line or, in Christian messianic theology, to Jesus as the Son of David.
No textual basis: The phrase "children of Jesus" appears nowhere in Hebrew or Christian Scripture. Jesus never had physical children, nor is believers' relationship to Him framed as His "children" in Hosea.
