You have done some "work" to be able to draw all the conclusions you have in mind from those verses.
Before I could think like that I would need some one like Fruchtenbaum or yourself to teach me how to read many familiar verses with a different understanding.
There is however some legitimate Biblical guidance that we all should follow before we find ourselves new teachers:
Mathew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
I can see that the spirit that guides your friends, and self, is bringing forth evil fruit because you justify Genocide, spreading lies and cover stories for those that commit atrocities.
You are constantly ready to "defend" yourself with poisonous slander.
I also see that your preoccupation and passion is not spiritual but of this world.
This is a simplistic "short cut" approach, but a legitimate one.
It does not require an endless game of words.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3)
It is now known that babies and children were targeted in the Gaza strip, a doctrine which turns a blind eye and cannot condemn such actions is not a doctrine from God.
I wonder who Jesus saved while in the heart of the earth. He brought the kingdom, did He not?
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Ephesians 4
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
John 8
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
You are asserting that this allegation somehow invalidates the eternal land grant covenanted to Abraham's seed the Sons of Jacob? And is somehow going to prevent the prophetically certain repentance and redemption of the Nation Israel that triggers the Second Coming?
Tell us how and why. If you are able.
Well speaking on genocide let's remember the topic really is the IRGC committed genocide outright, the biggest State-sponsored massacre so far in the 21st century. So we're all against the literal pagan cult of literal necromancers that literally committed genocide not like 100 years ago, not during the Bible times, but literally in January right? We finally on the same page about that and why it's good they are corrected outright by the hand of Heaven right and praise Jesus now right? Praise Jesus.
Go run to those authorities that you trust so much at the UN and file a complaint. Tell them that you are horrified and appalled that Ezekiel 37 is now being fulfilled and will inevitably lead to Ezekiel 38 thru 48.
And that your are sick with worry that Hosea 6:1-2 will lead to the Second Coming.
And that you are mortified that Zechariah chapters 12, 13 and 14 prove that per Acts 1:6, 1:11 and 3:21, Luke 13:35, Luke 21:24, Rom 11:25 the kingdom and land will be restored to the Sons of Jacob the Nation Israel by the express will and command of the Lord Jesus Himself.
And that much to your chagrin, the Greater Joseph actually loves His brothers, and will save them as is proven below.
Gen 45:1 - Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, “Make everyone go out from me!” So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Gen 50:20 - “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
And that you are filled with dread that the Greater Nazarene, the Greater Samson actually loves his wife and will destroy them that choose to destroy her, as is proven below.
Jdg 15:2 - Her father said, “I really thought that you thoroughly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead.”
Jdg 15:3 - And Samson said to them, “This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines if I harm them!”
Jdg 15:8 - So he attacked them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; then he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
********************************
You see, I have chosen to be mentally and emotionally grounded in objective proven Biblical facts. Rather than fitfully tossing around emotionally charged political footballs weeping all the while of supposed injustices.
If you choose to spend your days obstinate and willfully antagonistic to prophetic reality and Gods plan of salvation, I expect dark days ahead for you and your like-minded crew.
The Real God loves His wife of old Israel and will surely redeem her. In fact this is both pivotal and essential to fulfill all "end time" prophecy.
Oh and BTW, there are many MANY Biblically illiterate and/or willfully antagonistic persons on this thread that gleefully declare that YHVH hates Israel and has rejected her forever. Or even more bizarrely, say that the book of Hosea refers to the Church!
In his systematic framework of *Israelology*, prominent Messianic theologian Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum outlines a concept known as **"The Wife of Jehovah."** He uses the literal historical relationship between the prophet Hosea and his unfaithful wife, Gomer, as the primary type (or prophetic model) for God's relationship with the nation of Israel.
Fruchtenbaum summarizes this redemption through distinct legal and relational stages, focusing heavily on cycles of **rejection (divorce/separation)** and **ultimate loving redemption (remarriage)**.
## 1. The Type of Rejection (The Great Adultery & Separation)
Fruchtenbaum notes that just as Gomer broke her marriage covenant through literal prostitution, Israel committed spiritual adultery by pursuing false gods. This resulted in a formal period of rejection and separation.
### Specific Passages of Rejection:
* **The Prostitution of the Land:** **Hosea 1:2** sets the stage for the rejection. God commands Hosea to *“Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms; for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.”* Gomer’s unfaithfulness mirrors Israel's unfaithfulness.
* **The Symbolic Rejection of the Children:** In **Hosea 1:6 and 1:9**, Gomer’s children are given names that reveal God’s withdrawal of covenantal care from the northern kingdom:
* *Lo-Ruhamah* (**1:6**): Meaning "No Mercy" or "Unpitied."
* *Lo-Ammi* (**1:9**): Meaning "Not My People." God explicitly states, *“for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.”*
* **The Legal Divorce and Stripping of Provisions:** In **Hosea 2:2-5**, the language of a formal divorce is invoked: *“Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband.”* God threatens to strip her of her blessings (vines, fig trees, wool, and flax) because she credited her pagan lovers for her prosperity.
* **The Period of Separation:** **Hosea 3:3-4** models the long period of isolation where Gomer must stay secluded without a husband, typifying how *“the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice.”*
## 2. The Type of Loving Redemption (The New Betrothal)
Fruchtenbaum emphasizes that Israel's divorce and separation are not final. Under the unconditional aspects of the patriarchal covenants, God initiates a loving redemption that culminates in a future remarriage during the Messianic Kingdom.
### Specific Passages of Loving Redemption:
* **The Purchase from Slavery:** **Hosea 3:1-2** serves as the literal type of redemption. Even though Gomer is enslaved and deeply degraded, God commands Hosea: *“Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel.”* Hosea physically buys her back out of the slave market for fifteen pieces of silver and a quantity of barley. Fruchtenbaum points out that this demonstrates God's grace—buying back a wife who brings nothing to the table but her shame.
* **The Wilderness Wooing:** **Hosea 2:14-15** shows God changing His tone from judgment to tender restoration: *“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.”*
* **The Reversal of Rejection Names:** In **Hosea 2:23**, God systematically undoes the names of rejection: *“And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy [Ruhamah]; and I will say to them which were not my people [Ammi], Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my my God.”*
* **The Eternal Betrothal:** **Hosea 2:19-20** provides the ultimate summary of this loving redemption:
> *“And I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.”*
>
### The Theological Summary
Fruchtenbaum concludes that the book of Hosea demonstrates that Israel's national history tracks perfectly with Gomer's narrative. Though Israel is currently in the "Stage of Separation" (Hosea 3:4), national repentance at the end of the age will lead to her final restoration, where she will permanently become the faithful, clean, and beautifully redeemed **Wife of Jehov
ah** (**Hosea 3:5**).
Hobab Briefing — Update, June 30, 2026 session
Iran/Energy Disruption: Ceasefire remains fragile but intact. A 60-day MOU extension was signed June 17, expiring mid-August. US Navy widened an Omani-route corridor through Hormuz on June 27, expanding traffic despite Iranian objections. Funeral processions for Khamenei run July 4-9, a genuine concentration of instability risk during the same window as other convergence claims — but this is a scheduling fact, not evidence of a planned attack.
Diesel/Transmission Belt: Strongly corroborated. Russian refining capacity offline reached ~2.14M bpd (about one-third of national capacity) by early June per Energy Intelligence estimates, worsened further by the June 16/18 Moscow refinery strikes (offline until 2027). Crimea fuel rationing and the gasoline/aviation-fuel export bans are confirmed. Counterweight: Russia is offsetting via record crude exports (~3.46M bpd), so this is sustained economic pressure, not collapse.
Dollar Hegemony Erosion: Mixed evidence, real but gradual. DXY confirmed at 101.3 (June 30), driven by rate-differential/hawkish-Fed mechanics, not a "crash up" narrative beyond normal macro logic. Dollar's reserve share has fallen below ~57%, still dominates FX turnover (88%) and trade settlement. Yuan-Hormuz settlement saw a real, dated spike (CIPS volume $85-105B → $130B+/day at war's outset) — a genuine "dollar bypass" demonstration, not a replacement (yuan still ~2% of global reserves, 3.7% of trade settlement). BRICS "Unit" gold-backed settlement token is real but explicitly a pilot/prototype with no central bank adoption and no 2026 launch — officials (Brazil, India) have denied a common-currency goal entirely. Existential-threat framing is overstated relative to mainstream economic analysis; realistic cost is structural (~0.9% GDP/year seigniorage loss) over a 5-15 year horizon, not a cliff event.
AI Bubble/Economic Instability: New fault line, entered today, not yet verified. Burry/Nvidia customer-concentration claims, Schiller CAPE ~41, stock/GDP 250%, housing/GDP 146%, and 2.6% savings rate are all checkable against FRED/Shiller data but unconfirmed as of this session. Flag for next pass.
Private Credit Stress: Untouched until today. Market is $1.5-2T (not enormous relative to $31T Treasury or $76T equity markets). Regulatory consensus (Fed, FSB, IMF) is "watch closely, untested in a downturn," not "systemic crisis" — direct bank exposure is small (<$200B), funds carry minimal leverage. Real stress signals: default rate index rose from 1.84% to 2.73% in two quarters; insurer concentration (10-15%+ of assets at PE-affiliated insurers) is the more credible emerging risk thread than bank contagion.
Private Credit / Margin / Repo Leverage (cross-cutting): FINRA margin debt at a fresh record $1.42T (May), up 53.7% YoY; investor net credit balance at -$991.7B. Hedge fund Treasury basis-trade repo exposure ~$6.6-7T, a recognized systemic vulnerability per Fed/BIS/Apollo — confirms the "fragile leverage" thread independent of any single source's framing.
Net assessment: Today's strongest, most load-bearing finding is the war-linked yuan/CIPS spike — real, dated, mechanistically tied to the Hormuz standoff. The weakest links remain the unverified AI-valuation figures and the BRICS "replacement" framing, which official sources explicitly contradict. No fault line today produced evidence supporting a single-date (July 4) convergence thesis; if anything, the BRICS and dollar-hegemony timelines argue for a multi-year process, not a near-term cliff.

That map sure paints a scary picture.
I look at it and imagine that little population of Israelis taking bits of it over the years stage by stage, just like their "buffer zones" in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, and Golan Heights.
I think of all the victim stories and "justifications" you would have to keep repeating to us until you are an old lady.
I think of all the millions of collateral "Amalek" that you will have to teach us to blame.
I wonder how that little population will manage to control that huge land that they have no use for.
Will they all learn to fly Apache helicopters by the time they are 5?
You can not blame me for thinking that you have a very radicalized religion.
Don't believe what is posted, they have not read actual negotiations, what was offered and what was turned down.
I am surprised the map didn't include usa, China, Russia, new Zealand....
Jesus said to preach Gospel to the end of world. All nations!!!
Good answer, you realized the manipulation.
You know what Paul wrote...
....for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection].

Below is the Updated Hobab briefing, what this particularly tracks is the misinformation and the attempted manipulation of the various parties in pushing their particular narrative.
