The Book of Hosea – Part 1, Hosea 1:1-11  Hosea Marries a Prostitute

[Study Aired April 13]

The Book of Hosea is the first of the so-called twelve Minor Prophets who, to our Lord, are far from being ‘minor’! The Hebrew scholars considered these twelve books to be one book, and that concept seems to hold a lot of validity since the themes of sin, chastisement, repentance and redemption consistently portrayed in those twelve books reflect the same pattern in the entire Bible. 

A significant point to which the esteemed scholars are utterly blinded is the momentous meaning of the number twelve. Since the holy spirit deemed it good to include only twelve books of an unknown possible number of other writings hidden from inclusion in the Bible, that number represents Christ and His foundational Body of Elect.

Rev 21:16  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal [a perfect cube representing unity in Christ and the Father].
Rev 21:17  And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 

1Co 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co 3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1Pe 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Mat 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Of course, particularly in the Darby bible version that inspired Schofield’s heretical machination with his version, the Lord deliberately included them among the vast array of other Bible versions to sustain a very few mostly hidden irregularities to nourish an exceptionally strong delusion that salvation is of the Old Covenant Jews in these seeming dying days of Zionism. 

Additionally, Christian Zionists and Orthodox Jews alike are looking for the nirvana of a physically restored world with their non-scripturally worded ‘millenium’ where the Jews will rule from their new temple on the apparent original temple mount in Jerusalem. The orthodox Christians, referred to as Babylonian Christians since they remain unwittingly in symbolic Babylon today, are looking for a ‘rapture’ where they, the imagined true believers, will be spirited away triumphant and in contempt for the rest of the world headed for the lie of eternal hell fire.

The temple site in Israel and the ‘perfect red heifer’ sacrifice for temple dedication are, at this time of writing, ready to go. Unrealised by the harlot world of Christians, the Jews still hate Christ, the reformer, and as one existing Jewess gnashed her teeth, would again ‘nail Christ up in a heartbeat!’ (q. S. Silverman) It is not the Jews or their literally 40,000 + supplementary Christian harlot churches of Babylon’s fault for their strong delusion (Mat 13:10-11). The Lord made them utterly witless of the spiritual meanings of the twelve minor prophets’ prophecies. Both Jews and Christians in these seeming end times are itching to increase ‘wars and rumors of wars’ (Mat 24:6-13) to unconsciously fulfill ‘every man’s hand against his neighbor’ (Zec 14:13), and ‘except for the Elect’s sake, no flesh would be saved alive’ prophecies (Mat 24:22).

Satan, our first father, so easily ‘eats dust’ of which man is derived since our unity is first in him, and the likes of Cryus Ingerson Schofield are his tool to sustain a deceived Judeo-Christian world. The Schofield Reference Bible was first published in 1909 and revised in 1917, right at the prominent re-birth and amplification of the ‘Jews who say that they are Jews and are not’ for the contrivance of the state of Israel. https://stephensizer.com/2021/06/cyrus-ingerson-scofield-charlatan-and-heretic/

Rev 2:9  I know thy [the twelve representing the Body of Christ, the Elect, the Bride] works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art [spiritually] rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

The synagogue of Satan is perfectly synchronous with Christianity, believing that salvation is of the physical Jews; thus, both belong to the collective “synagogue of Satan” as secondarily does the world ‘outside the camp of Israel’.

Isa 53:6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him [Christ] the iniquity of us all [First with the ‘foundational twelve, the Body of Christ, and secondarily and just as significantly, the world]. 

Rev 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

The Church of Philadelphia is one of the Seven Churches of Asia representing the entire Church of God, yet potently represents her final representation, having endured chastisement and about to be given the crown of life and rulership in Christ with the rod of iron in the One-Thousand Years, commonly called in Babylon, ‘the Millenium’ (Rev 1: 2, Rev 1:11, Rev 1:20, Rev 2:27).

Rev 3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength [yet, the strength of a mustard seed], and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 
Rev 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan [Pointedly Judaism and Babylonian Zionist Christianity], which say they are [unconsciously spiritual…] Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 
Rev 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 
Rev 3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown

Mat 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 
Mat 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the Elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 

Mat 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 
Mat 24:4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 
Mat 24:5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 
Mat 24:6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 
Mat 24:7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8  All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
Mat 24:10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
Mat 24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 
Mat 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many [hopefully not for the Body of Christ, though, being a small Church, the few that have left are effectively “many”] shall wax cold. 
Mat 24:13  But he that shall endure [Chastisement with joy since changed hearts are elated hearts] unto the end, the same shall be saved. 
Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Babylonian Christianity has preached in the heat of the day to the entire world as a strong, delusional witness to all nations since her doctrine is of the flesh. However, spiritually, the primary purpose of the twelve minor prophets, as is the entire Bible, is spiritually discerned.

Mat 24:23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not [His sheep hear the voice of the true shepherd]. 
Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very Elect [an Elect can be deceived since he is deceived by design since the foundation of the world, the “very Elect” of God are not deceived]. 

Joh 6:56  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

We eat and drink spiritually the commandments of Christ and not the blasphemy of ritually performing that act at the Old Covenant Passover. 

Joh 6:57  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 
Joh 6:58  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead [Old Covenant physically kept laws]: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever [Christ is the spiritual bread from the Father].
Joh 6:59  These things said he [Ironically and highly relevant] in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 
Joh 6:60  Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? [The Apostles were spiritual babes in training to eventually become fully fledged Christ’s Christs ~ plural, His Bride. Rev 11:15
Joh 6:61  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 
Joh 6:62  What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 
Joh 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 
Joh 6:64  But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 
Joh 6:65  And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 
Joh 6:66  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 
Joh 6:67  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 
Joh 6:68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 
Joh 6:69  And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Joh 6:70  Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 
Joh 6:71  He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

Judas was the ‘fall guy’ representing the twelve Apostles, just as every joint in the Bride of Christ has betrayed her Lord a number of times while enduring her chastisements, “But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled” – Mat 26:56. Without our spiritual understanding of scripture, we all are guaranteed to deny Christ, and even then, we sometimes still reject him only to later acknowledge our sins (Jer 3:13).

As such, Babylonian Christianity and the Jews, the collective ‘synagogue of Satan’, unintentionally believe that they bathe as the Full Moon unwittingly in the brightness of Satan, the angel masquerading as light. They all believe that the minor prophets herald the remaking of the physical Israel of God and will increasingly violently fight in these apparent latter days only to have their ideology burned with symbolic fire, though, in war, quite likely some supportive states literally.

2Co 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 

2Co 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 
2Co 11:15  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Hosea is one of the twelve minor prophets, all of whom echo Isaiah’s vision in Isaiah 6:1-3 and effectively call to each other the exact same prophetic message of doom, destruction, exile and redemption. The Assyrian army in the North (judgment comes from the northJer 1:14, Jer 51:48, Eze 9:2, Eze 26:7) was almost at Israel’s door, rattling its war machine for invasion of the northern tribes of Israel when Hosea wrote his message approximately in 755–715BC. It is only understood in the age since the cross and to a very, very small group of God-chosen Elect to know that they are the Seraphims who call to each other; not just the meanings of the prophecies of these twelve prophets but every Biblical meaning. As with all those books of the twelve, they all mostly end in a glorious outcome following their prophecies of doom.

Isa 6:1  In the year that king Uzziah [highly synonymous we will see with Hosea 1:1] died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 
Isa 6:2  Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Isa 6:3  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

King Uzziah was a relatively righteous king in Judah in the South who, as a king, unrighteously took it upon himself to hold some of the oracles of God since he was a Kohathite. As king, he represents us in our formerly proud, self-righteous and imagined rich understanding of God’s word (2Ch 26:16), entering the temple and insolently burning incense with strange fire and paying scant regard for the impending destruction Hosea was proclaiming within us.

Uzziah – `Uzziyah – Phonetic: ooz-zee-yaw’- Definition: Uzziah = my strength is Jehovah 1. son of king Amaziah of Judah and king of Judah himself for 52 years; also ‘Azariah’. 2. a Kohathite Levite and ancestor of Samuel 3. a priest of the sons of Harim who took a foreign wife in the time of Ezra.

Hosea H154, Phonetic: ho-shay’-ah- Definition: Hosea or Hoshea or Oshea = salvation 1. family name of Joshua, the son of Nun.

Hosea and possibly Jonah were apparently the only authoring prophets to have lived in the northern tribes of Israel during the eighth century BC.

To Hosea’s no doubt initial humiliation and despair, God commanded him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. Gomer is the only female in the Bible to bear that name. The other five occurrences for the name Gomer is the eldest son of Japheth, grandson of Noah and represents the rest of the world as seen in Genesis 10:1-32…

Gen 10:1  Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 
Gen 10:2  The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

 … and summarized in verse 32:

“These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.”

Although Hosea’s wife Gomer bore him three children, she, being a prostitute, must have kept Hosea somewhat doubtful that those children were his. Apart from bearing children with Hosea, Gomer’s name is dreadfully silent. Her presence and the implications of her whoredoms are what counts, and her name is only mentioned once in Hosea. Since she represents our former prostituting ways in Babylon and we, being told to come out of her (Babylon), it strongly indicates Gomer didn’t regress to her former ways since she had a secure relationship with the symbolic Christ, represented by Hosea. Additionally, she is mirrored in the Elect, who come out of Babylon and are expected not to return to whoredoms that spiritually are false doctrines.. We know from experience and potently backed up by Scripture that we do look back at Babylon similar to Lot’s wife looking back at the appalling imagery of Sodom and her sister cities going up in dense black smoke and fire. Even Jerusalem is aligned with Egypt, Sodom, Assyria and Babylon since they all represent our Gomer-like doctrinal whoredoms, ‘the giants of our land, that not always just don’t disappear in a puff of smoke.

Isa 1:21  How is the faithful city [Old Jerusalem who still is!] become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

Exo 23:29  I will not drive them [the giants, the delusional lies of our land; whoredoms] out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee [and the baby we initially are is overwhelmed and chokes on strong meat].
Exo 23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 

Our Lord’s most tender woos of the Gomer that we were, causes us later to come out of Babylon. However, for now, Gomer, we shall see in chapter two, most certainly does go a-whoring!

Hos 2:14  Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 

Hos 2:19  And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 
Hos 2:20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know [have spiritual connection] the LORD.

Gal 6:15  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but [the beginnings of… ] a new creature.
Gal 6:16  And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God [the Elect of God].

The fact that Israel has been through the initial wilderness and become a great nation in the Promised Land, Hosea emboldens the Synagogue of Satan to believe that they are espoused in their involuntary self-righteousness that they are the chosen of God “forever.”

Now, and with that lengthy prelude, we hope to see that we represent Gomer, the prostitute. We are astonished and paradoxically incredibly pleased that darkness comes before light and death before life to understand that we are Gomer and greet her “comfortably” for the ultimate joy she brings upon us for our God-given repentance and Husband’s forgiveness.

Hosea 1:1-11

Hosea’s Wife and Children

Hos 1:2  The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. 
Hos 1:3  So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son. 
Hos 1:4  And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. 
Hos 1:5  And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. 
Hos 1:6  And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Hos 1:7  But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. 
Hos 1:8  Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. 
Hos 1:9  Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. 
Hos 1:10  Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 
Hos 1:11  Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

—————

Hos 1:1  The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

Of great significance is Hosea’s reference to Jeroboam as our Lord molds His Bride as He pleases from clay into spirit in the love affair from Genesis to Revelation. Figuratively, midway in the chronicles of the creation of His new Bride, the Lord divides Israel into two parts. Jeroboam’s significance is that he is central to Israel being divided into Judah in the South and greater Israel, represented in the northern ten tribes. Tony Cullen presented an excellent understanding of the events here and particularly in the Study, 1K 11:26-43: Jeroboam

The very same pattern and theme of sin, chastisement, repentance, and redemption Hosea repeats by him being commanded to marry Gomer, a known whore, to most graphically etch in his Elect’s minds how she, the ‘faithful city, has become a harlot.’ Hosea’s marriage to Gomer and the resultant children are precisely what the Lord, the husband of old Israel, felt and experienced in us before covering our nakedness with a “new garment.”

1Ki 11:29  And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field: 
1Ki 11:30  And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces
1Ki 11:31  And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: 
1Ki 11:32  (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel)

Now, those above verses outstandingly point to two major events; the coming division of Israel in the North and later in the South and the spiritual application of Deuteronomy 24:1-2!

Clearly, the twelve pieces of Jeroboam’s chic new garment represent the entire nation of Israel’s imagined beauty, yet dismissive of Hosea and the other prophet’s warning for the whole nation’s tarted-up whorish ways full of her many lover’s dead men’s bones.

Pro 2:18  For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 
Pro 2:19  None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

Rev 18:7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 

Mat 23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 
Mat 23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Mat 23:29  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 
Mat 23:30  And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 
Mat 23:31  Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 

Gomer’s pre-marriage uncleanness with Hosea’s righteous spirit and mind for his Lord potently reflected Deuteronomy 24:1-2 for its much future spiritual representation of Christ’s Elect being a figurative Gomer, from whom he warmly pleads repentance. Since we know that the Bride of Christ does repent of her whoredoms and remains faithful, we concede that Gomer, upon marriage, likewise repented and remained faithful (Hos 2:20).

Hos 2:19  And I will betroth thee [Gomer by Hosea by works, and we for Christ by his faith and spirit] unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Hos 2:20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou [the Body of Christ in Christ’s faith] shalt know the LORD.

Deu 24:1  When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 
Deu 24:2  And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. 

Mat 19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 
Mat 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 
Mat 19:10  His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Mat 19:11  But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

Hosea and his contemporary prophets plead with Israel to repent of her ‘unclean’ ways, and we know in the future account that the Lord, in creating His Bride, does cause her to return again to rebuild the New Heavenly Jerusalem within and “take hold of the paths of life.”

The pictorial portrayed by Jeroboam’s split of Israel powerfully sustains the Biblical narrative of two women representing our Lord’s marriages, first to a whore (formerly us) who wore her own garments, and following, a beautiful girl designed by His very hands to wear His clean white garments of learned purity.

Gal 4:21  Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [As today’s Jews and Schofield’s ilk unwittingly fight to retain] 
Gal 4:22  For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 
Gal 4:23  But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 
Gal 4:24  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 
Gal 4:25  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and [still] is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Hos 1:2  The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. 

Notice that the Lord says that Gomer’s children are of whoredoms. Since Gomer is married to Hosea, her children to him are no longer born bastards. Nonetheless, since Gomer had sexual intimacies with an unspecified number of men, they all were, by law, her husbands. We shall see in Chapter 2, tragically, for the Elect’s sake and immense spiritual understanding, Gomer does delight in a multitude of different Jesuses and not solely in Hosea.

Hosea’s and Gomer’s ‘children of whoredoms’ obviously depict our disappearing spiritual engagements with ‘another Jesus.’ As such, our land represents our mind and body polluted by a multitude of considered small, children-like sins we imagined Christ overlooked while we sat in the pews of the synagogue of Satan. Some of the most belligerent Christian pastors in the USA and other Western nations are currently advocating bombing the daylights out of any who oppose Israel in the traditions of Old Covenant genocide. Only in the Resurrection to Judgment will they look back in abject horror for their strong delusions.

2Co 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 

Deu 20:16  But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: 

Eze 9:5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 
Eze 9:6  Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. 

Heb 8:7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them [since they didn’t have the holy spirit to keep any law], he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb 8:9  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 
Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 
Heb 8:11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 
Heb 8:12  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness [“speak comfortably unto her”], and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 8:13  In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Of course, those figuratively bastard children from our whoredoms of having many husbands are given to us by God, and the name, Jezreel, Gomer’s first child allegedly to Hosea, means “God sows.” He sows both good and evil ‘children’ for His purpose of evil experiences that humble us and eventually bring us to perfection in Christ.

Hos 1:3  So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son. 

The definitions of Gomer and her father, Diblaim, identify the house of Israel split into two nations and, subsequently, the incipient Elect of God powerfully representing us being ‘completely’ sold out to whoredoms. While in Babylon today, God has split the world of figurative Babylon, most pointedly as Jeudeo Christianity seeking salvation by the Jews who say that they are Jews and are not, and the second ‘cake’, His Bride. They represent the “two cakes” of Diblaim and our first father, the Devil, with the second ‘cake’ representing the Elect of God fleeing Babylon to their holy Father in Christ and His Father.

Hos 1:4  And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

Jesreel H3157, Gomer’s first son. Jezreel = Definition: Jezreel = God sows n pr m 1. a descendant of the father or founder of Etam of Judah.

The Lord sows both good and evil for His purpose to specifically show His Elect that their path of evil is first classically signified by Judah and the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel.

Loruhamah H3819, a daughter of Gomer’s second child. Definition: Lo-ruhamah = no mercy.

Loammi H3818, a third child and another son, Definition: Lo-ammi = not my people.

A pattern of understanding is relatively easy to be seen in the meanings of Gomer’s children. God sows our good and evil experiences without mercy on our self-righteous harlot ways of eating our own bread and wearing our own clothes, and we thus become not His people. Two males represent the division of Judah in the South and Israel in the North, who should know better and overall represent the Loruhamah, Gomer’s only daughter representing ‘no mercy’ upon our disappearing unrighteousness from whence the Bride of Christ is being created of her harlot mother church she is, the only daughter, showing no mercy on greater Israel and likewise God showing no mercy on them.

The house of Jehu represents the collective synagogue of Satan and particularly us within when we are elevated to think more highly of ourselves than what Christ has initially made us. We are represented as Jehu, who was entrusted by God with the highest function and blessed as King in the land of Israel. 

Mike, in his fine study Being Elevated by God is not Enough provides the best rendition of Jehu’s escapades:

The lesson for the Lord’s Elect is that he ‘sows’ both good and evil for His purpose of creating His Elect. Representing Jehu’s cunning exuberance, we formerly bathed in the glory of self-proclaimed righteousness for obeying the Lord in ridding the house of Ahab, Jezebel, and associates within ourselves, yet still went the way of most of the unrighteous kings of Israel. Jehu went way beyond his commission through trickery and deceit and avenged the blood of Naboth many times more than God assigned and then for personal glory.

Israel’s sins were not the least bit absolved because of Jehu’s singular successes. Jehu wasn’t commissioned nor able to provide Israel with the strength to stop Assyria’s coming invasion from the North because the Lord had ordained before the foundation of the World that Israel would go into Babylon. It all thus avenged the blood of Jezreel by being overrun by Assyria and eventually scattered and sown throughout the world into many nations. It all was the long and slow beginning of the end of physical Israel and the establishment of the distant Heavenly Jerusalem in the Lord’s Elect.

Continuing are the verses in the first chapter of Hosea to substantiate the interpretations. 

Hos 1:5  And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel 

Unknown to Israel, life comes from the death of the pride of their physical power for the creation of the spiritual Israel of God. 

Hos 1:6  And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Hos 1:7  But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. 

Judah represents the Lord’s Elect and makes His Priests who go forward, not with the might and self-righteous physical power of the Jehu within, but by Christ’s strong spiritual arm and faith.

Hos 1:8  Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. 
Hos 1:9  Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. 

Loammi pictures the slow finish of the Old Covenant of death that the whorish nation of Israel portrayed so well in poorly done works of the flesh and Gomer-like prostitution. However, the Lord always provides the guarantee of hope so that the giants of our lands within do not overrun us. He says,

Hos 1:10  Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 

The fact that the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered, does not correlate to the very small number comprising the Bride of Christ. “In the place where it was said unto them [fleshy Israel], Ye are not my people” the Lord gives them the absurdity of hope in the face of exile and deep distress and dismay that the Lord should seemingly abandon them with such a saying. What Israel doesn’t yet know is that they will spawn the spiritual “sons of the living God” to deliver greater Israel as children of His Bride numbered as the sand of the sea to likewise become the “sons of the living God.”

Luk 12:32  Fear not, little flock; [The Bride of Christ, the first ‘sons of the living God’] for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

Mat 22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, [at the First Resurrection] he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: [Greater Israel]. 
Mat 22:12  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 
Mat 22:13  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth [in the resurrection to judgment].
Mat 22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen

Hos 1:11  Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

When the blood of Naboth, who represents Christ’s blood and his vineyard of Israel, is avenged, it is the “day of Jezreel” when Christ ‘sows’ (Jezreel = God sows spiritual Judah) His spirit first in His Elect and then on Israel, the sand of the sea.

Lord, please hasten the day.
