1. An Adulterous WifeA Strange Command {172}
THERE ARE IMPORTANT parallelsbetween Hoseas story and Gods
experience with Israel.On a human level, Gomer was
adulterous against Hosea; on thespiritual level, Israel was unfaithful
to God.

1. An Adulterous WifeA Strange Command {172}
Hosea was called to endure abroken heart and a broken marriage.
He must have suffered publicindignation and disgrace.
Yet, the more he experienced
Gomers unfaithfulness, the deeperwas his understanding of Gods pain
and frustration with Israel.

Israelites came to believe that life-
giving rain, were coming from Baal.Thus they built shrines to gods.
Idol worship was considered to bethe most serious sin because itdenied the role of the Lord God in
the lives of the nation.

HOSEA BOUGHT HER back.God, in a sense, did the same thing
for the human race, but the cost wasthe death of Jesus on the cross.
Only by looking at the Cross, then,
can we get a much clearer picture ofwhat it cost God to buy us back from
the ruin that sin has caused.

3. The Adulterer RestoredA Call to Repentance {176}
The prophet urges the nation,which was perishing in sin for lack of
knowledge (Hos. 4:6, NKJV), to press
on to know God fully and live in harmonywith His eternal principles.
It was the peoples lack of knowledge,the knowledge of God, that led them to
rebellion and eventually resulted in
judgment.

In contrast, through faith andobedience the people could come to
know the Lord for themselves.
This knowledge can be close andintimate too. That is precisely why,
time and again, marriage is a symbolof the kind of relationship that the
Lord wants with us.
