Hosea
The Book of Hosea, the first book of the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament, and one of the oldest books in all of the Hebrew Bible, is told during a time of moral decay in the Northern Kingdom of Israel in the 8th Century BC. Comparing the worship of gods other than Yahweh to an adulterous woman, Hosea's tumultuous marriage to the unfaithful Gomer and the birth of his children are seen as illustrative of the spiritual adultery of Israel and the consequences of turning away from God.
Warning of impending judgment and exile if the people do not repent and return to God, Hosea also proclaims God's unfailing love and desire for reconciliation. It concludes with a message of hope, as God promises to heal and restore His people, renewing His covenant with them and transforming their relationship into one of enduring faithfulness and intimacy.
