Hosea is asked: to do the unimaginable.

by Alejandro Roque Glez.
Minor Prophets of the Old Testament at Alejandro's Libros






The prophet Hosea exercised his ministry approximately between 760-720 BC, and even though in Christian churches they do not talk much about him, we will discuss here some of his predictions.






The prophet fulfilled the instructions and did as Yahweh God commanded him, and perhaps his message did restrain some who later moved to the south, and thereby helping the Kingdom of Judea to not imminently suffer the same disastrous consequences. Once the woman joins the prophet he clearly tells her that she will never again be intimating with another man, but with him alone the day after he shall return to her. The prophet Hosea––here representing God––assures about he would not cheat on her. This showed Israel that God had loved them and formed as a nation, and once converted into adulterous, spiritually repugnant, God would shake ‘her’ and not falling in love with them as a nation, but only after a long period of time. This is where the prophet suddenly looks into the End Times and promises them that––even so adulterous––he will forgive ‘her’ one day and again walk together under the law and love of the Almighty God, for the benefit and prosperity of their children from generation to generation ahead.




(If you are interested in reading a literary narrative where the promise of God is recreated, you can get the author's book entitled 'The King Victorino').
