The Prophecy of Hosea and the downfall of Northern Kingdom. Hosea is the first book of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is the 28th book in the Old Testament. In the Hebrew Bible, it is also the first book of the collection known as The Twelve or The Minor Prophets. Hosea's prophecies primarily focus on God’s enduring love for Israel despite the nation's persistent unfaithfulness and idolatry. He uses the symbolism of his marriage to Gomer, a prostitute, to illustrate God's relationship with Israel. Hosea prophesies both judgment and restoration, highlighting God’s desire to heal and redeem His people. Hosea prophesied around 2,700 years ago, during the reigns of the last two kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel—also known as Ephraim—shortly before it was conquered and destroyed by the Assyrian Empire. His prophecies speak of punishment for turning away from God, and of restoration for turning back to Him. The core message of Hosea centers on God’s unending love for a sinful and wayward Israel. ====================================================== Disclaimer: 1.
