Since it has been a couple of weeks, let me remind you . . .The book of Hosea is a love story – but not like a romance novel - it was never meant to entertain • God’s message came to Israel in a graphic illustration, ◦ played out in the life of his prophet • first, God told Hosea to marry a prostitute ◦ the point was to give Israel a living re-enactment of ◦ their history with God – deserting him for another god or other gods - Hosea and his wife had three children who were placed onto the stage with their parents • each of their names revealed an aspect of the unfolding crisis ◦ Jezreel – a place where God would render a verdict, to bring closure ◦ Lo-Ruhamah – No Mercy – God would leave them to their fate ◦ Lo-Ami – Not Mine – God rejected them from being his people • so up till now, the unfolding drama has been harsh
