Subtitle: The Ultimate Payment. This is a shocking book of the Bible, and it may be hard to understand. We have to go all the way back to the promised God made to His children, the Israelites, before entering the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 6. Hosea is sad but true reflection of what sin brings. God tells Hosea to go and buy her back, after she prostitutes herself, and make her his own. That is a very good description of us. Thank You Jesus for buying us back with Your precious blood! Have a blessed and Happy Mother’s Day.
Hosea 3:1. Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. 2. So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 3. And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee. 4. For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: 5. Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
