HOSEA
Hosea was a prophet during the reign of Jeroboam II. During Jeroboam II's rule, Assyria had little influence in Israel. However, Syria's losses allowed Jeroboam II to reclaim strategic territory to the north and east. The economic windfall created a buffer zone which assisted some of Israel to accumulate much wealth which they abused.
As time went on, one bad king replaced another in Hosea's lifetime. Hosea repeatedly prophesied of YAHWEH's mercy, compassion and love for His people and encouraged His people to return to YAHWEH.
It is our endeavor to encourage folks to read through the bible and not to put any particular interpretation into them. Any clip-art is purely based on the literal wording and not any prophetic meaning (hidden or revealed elsewhere).
We will be using the New King James Version for the text.
