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.
0:17.6	Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinania House and Koinnea Institute.

0:32.4	Thank you. So in addition to exposing the nation's breach of the covenant and God's intention to implement judgment,
0:52.5	Josea also confirmed the Deuteronic promise of ultimate restoration.
0:55.9	So while he hammers these people as to what's coming,
0:59.0	he never lets them lose sight of the fact that God ultimately will restore all of Israel.
1:06.1	That's Deuteronomy 30, first 10 verses.
1:09.2	The major themes of Josea's message are sin, judgment, and salvation.
1:13.2	His style will be abrupt, sententious, and unrounded.
1:17.8	The connecting participles in the Hebrew are very few.
1:21.0	There are changes of person and anomalies of gender, number, and construction.
1:26.0	His very name, Josea, means salvation. It's a variation of
1:31.8	Yehoshua, actually. So he's a contemporary of Micah Amos and so forth. It seems to have entered
1:39.0	his prophetical office in the last years of Jeroboam, contemporary with Uzziah, and to have ended
1:43.8	it in the beginning of Hezekiah's reign, contemporary with Uzziah, and to have ended it in the beginning
1:44.6	of Hezekiah's reign, about 722 BC.
1:47.4	In other words, about 60 years of all.
1:51.6	His first prophecy foretells the overthrow of Jehu's house.
1:54.4	We'll be looking at that more detail in a minute and fulfilled on the death of Jeroboam.
