	Biblical people: Hosea
		Hosea, according to the Bible book that bears his name, prophesied about 2750 years ago, during the reigns of the last two kings of Israel, shortly before Israel was conquered - and destroyed - by the Assyrian Empire.
		Hosea's prophecies spoke of the desolations that would result from being unfaithful to God, and of God's promise to later restore Israel.
		Hosea's home life is described and it is a mirror to the nation of Israel and its relationship to God at that time.

	Hosea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hosea (הוֹשֵׁעַ "Salvation of/is the Lord", Standard Hebrew Hošeaʿ, Tiberian Hebrew Hôšēăʿ, Greek Ὠσηέ = Ōsēe) was the son of Beeri and a prophet in Israel in the 8th century BC.
		According to the Book of Hosea, he married the prostitute Gomer, the daughter of Diblayim, at God's command.
		Hosea is often seen as a "prophet of doom", but underneath his message of destruction is a promise of restoration.

	Hosea - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		In favor of this is the reference in 1:2 to the commencement of the prophet's ministry, as also the threatening of the impending extirpation of the house of Jehu (1:4), implying that it was still in existence; and finally the hints of the abundance amounting to luxury which marked the prosperous time of Jeroboam's reign.
		Farther down (Hosea 1:11) he predicts the union of Israel and Judah under one head, and finally in Hosea 3 it is said that in the latter day the children of Israel would seek the Lord their God and David their king.
		And the very next verse (Hosea 8:13), "As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Yahweh accepteth them not," is at once an acknowledgment of the Divine institution of sacrifice, and an illustration of the kind of opposition the prophets entertained to sacrificial service as it was practiced.

	Hosea
		Based on the title of the book (1:1), Hosea could have been active from 783-687 B.C.E. However, since the background of his prophecies is one of social chaos he could not have been active until the final years of Jeroboam II's reign.
		Hosea 6:8, which says "Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood" (NRSV), may refer to the murder of Pekahiah.
		Hosea is careful to state that YHWH is the God who took them from Egypt and to the Promised Land (12:13) and that He is the only god the Israelites have ever known (13:4).

		Hosea, like Amos began preaching in times of great prosperity, and left off when the nation was struggling in the grip of anarchy.

	A Form-Critical Rereading of Hosea
		This is evident in Hosea 1-3, for example, which is grouped together on the basis of the narrative literary form in chapters 1 and 3 and by the overall thematic concern with Hosea's marriage or marriages.
		Hosea begins with a superscription in Hos 1:1 which must necessarily stand apart from the following material in that it serves as an introduction to the balance of the book that identifies its contents, author, and the historical setting in which it is to be read.
		Hosea points especially to the kings of Israel as one of the fundamental causes for Israel's problems in that YHWH did not desire kingship for Israel in the first place and because the northern kings are so closely associated with the idolatry and violence that Hosea perceives throughout the land (see esp. Hos 8:1-6).

	Book of Hosea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Book of Hosea
		Hosea was the first biblical writer to use the imagery of marriage as an illustration of the relationship between God and his people.
		This book stands first in order among the "Minor Prophets." "The probable cause of the location of Hosea may be the thoroughly national character of his oracles, their length, their earnest tone, and vivid representations." This was the longest of the prophetic books written before the Captivity.

	Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary: Hosea.
		Hosea (Ho 11:1) is quoted in Mt 2:15; also Ho 6:6 in Mt 9:13; 12:7; compare Ro 9:25, 26, quoting Ho 1:10; 2:1, 23; 1Co 15:55, quoting Ho 13:14; 1Pe 2:10, quoting Ho 1:9, 10; 2:23.
		Messianic references are not frequent; but the predictions of the future conversion of Israel to the Lord their God, and David their king, and of the fulfilment of the promise to Abraham that his spiritual seed should be as the sand of the sea (Ho 1:10; 3:5), clearly refer to the New Testament dispensation.
		Hosea is told, not as in Ho 1:2, "take a wife," but "love" her, that is, renew thy conjugal kindness to her.

	Introduction to Hosea
		Background and Date: Hosea indicates the historical moment and place in which his ministry took place by mentioning the monarchs of the southern kingdom of Judah (Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah) and the monarch of the northern kingdom of Israel (Jeroboam II), who governed while Hosea fulfilled his prophetic mission (1:1).
		Hosea married an impure woman ("a wife of whoredom", 1:2), he truly loved her and had sons with her (1:3), and went after her and made her return when she was lost ("Go, love", 3:1).
		Hosea's love for his wayward wife reminds us that the principal proof of the Spirit is love (Gal.

	Hosea Ballou
		Hosea Ballou (April 30, 1771-June 7, 1852) was the most influential of the preachers in the second generation of the Universalist movement.
		Hosea's education was meager, his father teaching him the rudiments.
		Its columns contained vigorous defenses against the calumnies of the orthodox Congregationalists, Unitarians, Methodists, and other opponents, and provided the denomination a vehicle for ministers and laity alike to express their ideas, to report news of developments, as the movement spread, and, of course, was valuable in the recruitment of new members.

	Hosea
		Hosea clearly began his work while the dynasty of Jehu was still on the throne, that is, before the death of Jeroboam II (786-746 B.C.).
		The principal basis for the scholarly view that Hosea's message was addressed only to the northern kingdom is that he mentions by name a good many places in the northern kingdom, but not one place in the southern kingdom.
		Moreover, in 7:5, where the context is unquestionably the northern kingdom, hosea speaks of its monarch as 'our king.' It is generally held that Hosea is the only literary prophet who was a northerner, and that his background was the growing crisis faced by the northern kingdom shortly after 750 B.C."

	B. Hosea
		Hosea's northern origin probably puts him in touch with the substantial northern prophetic tradition represented by Elijah, the Elohist traditions of the Pentateuch, the traditions of Deuteronomy, and probably even Jeremiah.
		Hosea was the first prophet to use his family life, and in particular his children, to make a theo-political prophetic point.
		Hosea's marriage to Gomer was a mirror of Yahweh's experience with Israel.

		The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel.
		Hosea's marriage to a harlot wife represents Israel's infidelity to her Lord; hence the symbolic names of the children (Hosea 1:4-9).
		In Hosea 2:4-23 the Lord protests this infidelity and decrees its consequences, but promises restoration in return for amendment; his punishments are medicinal.

	Chapter 17: Amos and Hosea
		The precise length of Hosea's ministry must remain uncertain, but from the evidence, it would appear that he was most active between 746 and 735, although a date extending beyond the collapse of Israel cannot be ruled out.
		Hosea begged the children to plead with their mother to change her ways but to no avail, and the prophet divorced her with terms used for disestablishment of marriage, "she is not my wife and I am not her husband."
		What is significant is the impact upon the prophet of his experience with the harlotrous woman, whether she was Gomer or another, for Hosea's oracles are interspersed with references to the adultery and harlotry of Israel as symbols of apostasy.
