Harvest Teachings

Verse By Verse With Pastor Paul Mowery

Author: Probably Hosea himself, though the text is in both the first and the third person.

Date: Sometime between 750 (approximately when Hosea began ministering) and 722 BC (when Assyria overran Israel).

In Ten Words or Less: Prophet’s marriage to prostitute reflects God’s relationship with Israel.

Details: God gives Hosea a strange command: “Take unto thee a wife of whoredoms” (1:2). The marriage pictures God’s relationship to Israel - an honorable, loving husband paired with an unfaithful wife. Hosea marries an adulteress named Gomer and starts a family with her. When Gomer returns to her life of sin, Hosea - again picturing God’s faithfulness - buys her back from the slave market. The book contains God’s warnings for disobedience but also His promises of blessing for repentance.
