Hosea 11:1-9 God’s Love for Israel

When reading Hosea 11: 1-9, my meaning was not very clear. NOAB version: When Israel was a child, I loved him, and in Egypt, I called my son. The more I call them, the more they leave me, the more they will make more sacrifices to Baal and incense. But if I teach Ephraim to walk, I hold them in my arms, but they do not know that I cured them. I took them with a good rope and circle of love. I seem to be the one who carries the baby to the cheek.

Hosea was condemned to God as a hard task of marrying a prostitute to show the essence and depth of his love to Israel to the people of God. When Hosea went to Israel to declare the message of God, the god of my niece told him to marry, and it turned out to be his childhood friend Gommer. He did not feel like believing in Hosea or his god, he discovered that she was broken and abused. But when she married Hosea as the only option, Gomer did what she was good at - she survived. Can love for Hosea's god and God's love for Israel heal Gomel's broken spirit?

Hosea 1: 1 to 3, I know the analogy between Hosea / Kali and God / Israeli relations. This made us realize the first subject we offered by Hosea and he began to emphasize this subject after his own struggle. The theme is that God believes Issel is a relationship of his slut Gomer and Hosea. God has long been suffering for patience and love. When reading Hosea, Hosea endured suffering with Gommer and his family and fell in love, so I saw the theme appear more and more times. Hosea 3: 1 states: "God said to me," Please go and express your love to your wife, the Israelites said they looked at other gods, but that must have been so hard, and that he I want to forgive my wife.This theme is useful for reminding us especially that God is the god of love.

Please recognize that God exists in relationship between men and women. Prophetic literature beginning with Hosea symbolizes marriage as a symbol of God's love for Israel. This metaphor for love to God is to thank the common aspect of marriage. In the New Testament, all three gospels record the permanence of affirmation of Jesus' marriage. In the Gospel of Mark and Matthew Gospel, Jesus refers to Genesis 2: 24. Most scholars believe that this teaching of Jesus represents a major change in the Jewish tradition of those days. During this period, the two chief rabbi, Shi mai and Hirel, did not agree on the proper reasons for divorce, but clearly divorce is considered a reasonable situation.
