GET HELP! GET HOPE!
EMBEDDED IN THE NAMES OF HOSEAÕS three children was a prophetic declaration of what was to be the fate of Ephraim, the northern kingdom known as Israel: ÒGod will scatter like seed,Ó Òno pity, no mercyÓ and Ònot My people.Ó
Though GodÕs discipline of His wayward children seemed fatal, hope was on the horizon . . .
Ò...and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, ÔYe are not My people,Õ there it shall be said unto them, ÔYe are the sons of the living GodÕÓ (Hosea 1:10b).
THE ISRAEL OF GOD ~ HELP & HOPE FROM HOSEA, by Daniel Botkin, is a sober study on how Ephraim provoked the wrath of God, with an encouraging connection for Gentile believers in Yeshua (Jesus) who share the redemptive promise of Ephraim today.
