Hosea

Hosea, whose name means the Lord saves, carried on his ministry during the days of four different kings of Judah-Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah; and of Jeroboam 2nd, the king of Israel. Hosea was a contemporary of Amos in Israel, and of Isaiah and Micah in Judah, and his ministry continued after the first, or Assyrian, captivity of the northern kingdom. The theme of the opening chapters of Hosea's prophesy is the unfaithfulness of Israel, set forth in terms of the marriage relationship, a familiar figure of speech depicting God's relation to His chosen people. Israel's forsaking of the Lord was brought home to Hosea in the adulterous acts of his own wife, so that his personal experiences became an allegory of God's experience with Israel. She was not only unfaithful, but her sin also took its character from the exalted relationship into which she had been brought. The major truths of the book are(1) God suffers when his people are unfaithful to him;(2) God cannot condone sin; and(3) God will never cease to love his own and, consequently, He seeks to win back those who have forsaken Him.
