Hosea
THe faithful Prophet
Hosea's lesson
God loved the Israelites even though they were not faithful to him. To show Hosea how this felt like he told him to marry a prostitution and have her give him kids. this showed Hosea how it feels like to love someone who is not faithful. He was also comparing the Israelites to prostitutes.
Hoses's children
the name of Hosea's first son
He was named this because god said that he would crush the Israelite's swords in this vally
this was Hosea's first daughters name "not-pitied"
god named her this because he said the Israelite's were no longer pitied.
this was the name of Hosea's youngest son
the reason for this was because god did not see the Israelites as his people anymore because they were unfaithful to him.
Punishment of Hosea's wife
Gomer was Hosea's wife and she was a prostitute. God was angry at her because when her husband was gone she would go to her lovers. One time when she tried he blocked her paths to her lovers with thorns. if she were to look of them for a long time god would not pity her when she got lost in the forest and he would let her die of thirst.
