Hosea

Bible Reference: Hosea 1-14

Hosea served as a prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
He prophesied during a time in which the people materially prospered but were spiritually bankrupt under Jeroboam II.
Hosea was instructed by God to marry the prostitute Gomer, and he used this relationship to describe the unfaithfulness of Israel.
His book contains a detailed account of his life and marriage to Gomer and the prophecies against the Northern Kingdom.
God’s relentless love for His people was shown through the prophecies of Hosea.
Hosea gave the people a message of restoration and hope if they turned back to God.
Though it seemed far off, judgment came against the Northern Kingdom when their capital fell in 722 BC to the Assyrians.
