Hosea Overview (Part 1)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of Hosea by Steve Gregg, we learn that Hosea was a prophet in the Northern Kingdom during a time of spiritual decline and idol worship. Gregg explains that the book of Hosea includes a personal story of Hosea's marriage as a metaphor for God's relationship with Israel. Additionally, the prophet's prophecies include charges against Israel for promiscuity and forsaking knowledge of God, but also calls for restoration and salvation. The lecture explores the theme of the Messiah and the Messianic period in the Old Testament, and how this differs between Christian and Jewish interpretations.
