Summary

Hosea, a contemporary of Isaiah (for most of his ministry) and Amos (in his earlier years) was the Jeremiah of the Northern Kingdom. His main target was the Northern Kingdom, yet his message was for the people of God. When Solomon died, Jeroboam rebelled and plunged the Northern Kingdom into a prosperous but idolatrous separation. After two centuries of abandoning their heritage, God sent Hosea to present His indictment and declare that He would use their enemies as His judgment. Amos was sent to Israel at a time when the nation feels militarily secure and prosperous, yet is turning to idolatry and abandoning their heritage. Misplaced confidence; false sense of security; abandonment of the greatness of their nation... (Sounds familiar, doesn't it?) In many ways a complement to Hosea, this perspective on the plight of Israel parallels the predicament of our country today. This study contains 13 hours of verse by verse teachings.

0:00.0	66.6640. Your future lies in 6640. Sixty-six books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.

0:53.6	And he compares the movements of history to the stages of biological life.
0:58.8	Civilizations are born, they grow strong, they deteriorate, and finally die.
1:05.4	Nations do.
1:06.4	Now he's not a believer, he's not a biblically based.
1:08.2	He's just a, you know, a historian.
1:11.4	So he made no attempt to link this inevitable death to sin, and he apparently knows nothing
1:16.4	of redemption, but his work nevertheless is provocative just from a sociological point of
1:20.6	view.
1:22.1	There are three stages he maintains.
1:24.6	Stage one, they die in spirit first. Next, the soul of the nation dies, its national
1:31.8	character deteriorates. In stage three, the final stage is when the body of the nation dies.
1:39.0	That's his perception, and it seems to be a convenient outline of the book of Hosea.
1:47.4	This seems to be the pattern of the northern kingdom that Hosea is dealing with.
1:51.6	So we're going to now, after that preamble, we'll jump into chapter 13, verse one.
1:57.3	When Ephraim spake trembling, now by the way, Ephraim was one of the geographic areas that became the archetype, if you will, the Northern Kingdom.
