Loved and Love

Part of a message the Lord God

revealed to Hosea the prophet:

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.-Hosea 11:1-3

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.-Hosea 11:4***Hosea the prophet lived in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land and was an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Canaan, the Promised Land, was inhabited by idolaters before the Lord God promised to give the land to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. After Sarah, Abraham, Rebekah, and Isaac died, their bodies were buried in a cave in Hebron (Kirjath-arba) in Canaan. Leah was Jacob's 1st wife and Leah's younger sister Rachel was the 2nd woman Jacob married. After Benjamin was born to Jacob and Rachel, Rachel died and her body was buried near Bethlehem in Canaan. After Leah died, her body was buried in the cave in Hebron. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph, the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel, was second-in-command. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Joseph and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, in the cave in Hebron, and Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. The Egyptians worshiped idols, and Israelites became engaged in idolatry. Aaron and his younger brother Moses were Israelites born in Egypt into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelites and to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wildness of Shur. Moses took Joseph's bones with him, fulfilling the request Joseph made before he died. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites, and the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites. When Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons, and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. In the desert wilderness of Sin, the Lord God began raining manna, bread from heaven, for the Israelites to eat. eanwhile, the Israelites told Aaron to make gods to go before them, and Aaron made a golden calf. During the 40th year of their journey to the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor.  Sometime thereafter, in Shittim, Israelite men worshiped idols with the Moabite women. When 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. In Shechem, the Israelite buried Joseph's bones. Sometime after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, and the elders associated with Joshua were dead, the Israelites began worshiping idols. Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, was the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land. David, from the tribe of Judah, was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south and consisted of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin. Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. The northern nation of Israel consisted of the other Israelite tribes. Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. The tribe of Ephraim was a large tribe with a multitude of warriors. The Lord God and the prophets of the Lord God sometimes identified the northern nation as Ephraim. Moreover, the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God identified idolatry among the Israelites as adultery, and the Lord God identified the Israelites as his firstborn son. King Hoshea was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Zedekiah (Mattaniah) was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, nearly 6 miles from Jerusalem, into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Jesus also healed people from the surrounding areas who were not born into the Israelite tribes.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Hosea, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

A message the Lord God

 revealed to Hosea the prophet:

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened. In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.-Hosea 7:1-7***Adam was the 1st man. The Lord God created Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Cain and Abel were born to to Adam and Eve. Sometime after Cain killed Abel, Seth was born to Adam and Eve. Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch was the great-grandfather of Noah the ark builder. Ham, Japheth and Shem were born to Noah and his wife. Shem's son Arphaxad was the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of Terah. Terah moved with his children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) and nephew Lot from Ur in southern Mesopotamia to Haran in northern Mespotamia. After 205-year-old Terah died in Haran, Abraham Sarah and Lot journeyed with their servants and possessions to Canaan. The Lord God promised to give Canaan, a land inhabited by idolaters, to Abraham's descendants and childless Abraham. The Lord God promised Abraham that a son would be to him. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and maidservant Hagar. When Abraham was 99 years old, the Lord God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. The Lord God told Abraham that a son would be born to Abraham and Sarah, and Abraham was to name the child Isaac. The next year, Isaac was born to 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 37 years old, 127-year-old Sarah died. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece, When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Rebekah instructed Jacob to deceive Isaac and cheat Esau. Jacob was subsequently sent to Rebekah's family in Haran and worked 7 years before marrying Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and maidservant Bilhah. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and maidservant Zilpah. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and Rachel. When Joseph was at least 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt and led Jacob to believe that Joseph was killed by an animal. After being sold to Potiphar, an Egyptian official, Joseph became the top servant in Potiphar's home. After Potiphar's wife made a false accusation, Joseph was imprisoned. When Joseph was 30 years old, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, proclaimed Joseph to be second-in-command in Egypt. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, according to the instructions of Joseph and the consent and invitation of Pharaoh. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Jacob and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, and Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Aaron and his younger brother Moses were from the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelites and to Pharaoh. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. The Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites and the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites. When Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. While the Israelites were still in the region of Mount Sinai, the Lord God  told Moses, and sometimes Aaron, laws that the priests were to obey. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, became the 1st king to rule over the Israelites. David, the 2nd king, was from the tribe of Judah and began to reign only over the tribe of Judah when he was 30 years old. David began to reign over all of the Israelites when he was 37 1/2 years old. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south and consisted of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin. Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. The northern nation of Israel consisted of the the tribe of Ephraim and the other tribes.  Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Ephraim was a large and prominent tribe with many warriors, and in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the northern nation of Israel is sometimes identified as Ephraim. Jeroboam established a system of idolatry in the kingdom, and idol worshipers and murderers always reigned. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser (Pul), ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. King Hoshea  was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Meanwhile, Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Hezekiah was the 12th king ruling Judah. Hezekiah, his grandfather King Jotham, Jotham's father King Uzziah (Azariah), Uzziah's great-great-great-grandfather King Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat's father King Asa, and Hezekiah's great-grandson Josiah were the only kings in Judah who only worshiped the Lord God. During the reign of Josiah's son Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the 17th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah again, and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During the reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jechoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the 18th king, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and his mother Nehushta, to Babylon. During the reign of Josiah's son Zedekiah, the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Idol worshiping Israelites, including the idolatrous kings in both kingdoms, did not listen to or believe the words proclaimed by the prophets of the Lord God. However, they believed and encouraged the false prophets and wicked priests. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Hosea, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

More Than

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.-Hosea 6:1-3

 

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.-Hosea 6:4-11***Ephraim and Manasseh were born in Egypt to Joseph and Asenath.

Yet and Still

A message the Lord God

revealed to Hosea the prophet:

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.-Hosea 5:8-15***Gibeah was the name of at least 2 cities in the Promised Land. Gibeah of Saul, also known as Gibeah of Benjamin, was in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Another Gibeah was in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah. Ramah was the name of several cities in the Promised Land. Ramah of Benjamin was in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin, and Bethaven was in land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Ramah of Mount Ephraim was identical to Ramathaim-zophim. Most of Mount Ephraim was in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Ephraim. Israelites from the tribe of Ephraim descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel,  their son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim. However, Jacob proclaimed Ephraim and Ephraim's older brother Manasseh to be his own sons, and the tribe of Joseph became known as the tribe of Manasseh and the tribe of Ephraim. Israelites from the tribe of Benjamin descended from Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Israelites from the tribe of Judah descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, became the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Approximately 400 years before Saul was anointed and reigned, the Israelites were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, and heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. Immediately thereafter, the Lord God began giving Moses the prophet  judgments, statutes and laws for the the Israelites, and the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites. Moses and his older brother Aaron were from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. The Lord God told Moses that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons, and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests.  Moreover, Moses proclaimed that the Israelites must not remove their neighbor's boundary landmarks in the Promised Land, according to the command of the Lord God. David, from the tribe of Judah, was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam,  the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms. according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south and consisted of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin. The northern nation of Israel consisted of the other Israelite tribes. The Israelites in the tribe of Ephraim, the Ephraimites, were warriors, and their tribe was possibly the largest in the northern nation. Throughout the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the northern nation of Israel is sometimes identified as Ephraim. Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to rule the northern nation of Israel. After Jeroboam began thinking that he would be killed if the Israelites in the northern nation went to the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, Judah's royal city, and turned their heart back to Rehoboam, he established a system of his own. Jeroboam placed a golden calf in Bethel, in the southern part of the kingdom bordering the tribes of Benjamin and Ephraim, and a golden calf in Dan, in the northern part of the kingdom, and appointed men of his own selection to serve as priests. Idolaters and murderers ruled the northern nation. Jehu was the 10th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During the beginning of Jehu's 28-year reign, Jehu put the false priests and prophets to death and burned their idols. Yet, Jehu did not destroy the golden calf in Bethel or the golden calf in Dan. Sometime thereafter, Jehu became an idolater. Jehu's son Jehoahaz was the 11th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Jehoahaz's son Joash (Jehoash) was the 12th king, and Joash's son Jeroboam was the 13th king to reign. King Hoshea was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom again and conquered Samaria, the royal city, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Uzziah (Azariah) was the 9th king to rule Judah. Uzziah's son Jotham was the 10th king. Jotham's son Ahaz, the 11th king, sought help from King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria. Ahaz's son Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah. Hosea the prophet proclaimed the words of the Lord God to the Israelites when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Joash's son Jeroboam reigned. Uzziah, and Uzziah's great-great-great-grandfather Jehoshaphat, the 4th king to rule Judah, and Jehoshaphat's father Asa, the 3rd king to rule Judah, and Jotham, Hezekiah, and Hezekiah's great-grandson Josiah were the only kings in Judah who did not worship idols. Josiah's son Zedekiah (Mattaniah) was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldens) conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Less than 70 years after Jerusalem was conquered, King Cyrus, ruler of the Persian Empire, proclaimed that Israelites could return to Judah and Jerusalem and build the house of the Lord God. Over 500 years after the new temple was built, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Hosea, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
