Love between Hosea and Gomer is built abound unconditional love, forgiveness and restoration of a marriage. This is the same love that YAHWEH(husband/Ishi) has for Israel( bride) who left her first love.
[h=1]Hosea 1 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h][h=3]Hosea’s Marriage and Children[/h]2 When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, He said this to him:
Go and marry a promiscuous wife
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the Lord.
1. ABBA command Hosea to married a promiscuous wife who has the character of harlot.
What was the purpose of ABBA commanding Hosea to married a woman with a harlot nature?
2. ABBA was illustrating his marriage with Israel who was promiscuous in character by leaving her first love to follow other gods as a harlot.
Hosea will have a disobedient wife and broken heart. Since Hosea wife, Gomer had a promiscuous nature her children paternity is questioned. ABBA will have a disobedient wife(Israel) and a broken heart. This shame of Gomer represented the shame of Israel children and divine condemnation.
Do Christians understand the spiritual and natural connection of two marriages above?
How will Christians males today respond to ABBA command to marry a woman of a promiscuous nature and will they be obedient as Hosea?
ABBA's wife(Israel) had been selling herself to other gods, abandoning her first love and worshiping false gods.
Does that represent Christians today who have abandoned their first love to follow the
world and to worship other gods?
Terminology: Names of Gomer children(3) and names will represent the shame of Israel.
