Hosea 3:1-5 NIV
Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife
1The LORD Said To me,
“Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is
loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her
as The LORD Loves the Israelites, though they turn to
other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.”
“Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is
loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her
as The LORD Loves the Israelites, though they turn to
other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.”
3Then I told her,
4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.
5Afterward the Israelites will return and seek
The LORD their GOD and David their KING.
They will come trembling to The LORD and to HIS Blessings in the last days.
5Afterward the Israelites will return and seek
The LORD their GOD and David their KING.
They will come trembling to The LORD and to HIS Blessings in the last days.
By the prophet's taking back his wife, though she had proved unfaithful; by his entering into a new contract with her; and by his giving her hopes of reconciliation, after she should for some time prove, as in a state of widowhood, the sincerity of her repentance; is represented the gracious manner in which GOD Will Restore the Jews from the Babylonian captivity, Hosea 3:1-4.
It is also very strongly intimated that the whole house of Israel will be added to the Church of CHRIST in the latter days, Hosea 3:5.
