HOSEA's better half had left and left him. He was a grave man, who nurtured genuine things; she watched over what she called a decent time. He had been exceptionally quiet; she had been extremely absurd.
They had three little youngsters, and the names which Hosea gave them demonstrate how tragic he was about the state of his home. The most established was a kid, and his name was Jezreel. His dad named him for where Jehu the skipper executed the ruler. "The skipper," he said to himself, "was false to his lord, whom he ought to have served and cherished. I realize what that implies as far as I can tell."
The second youngster was a young lady, and the name which Hosea gave her signifies "No pity." When individuals stated, "Hosea, that is a peculiar name which you have given to your little girl: why do you call her that?" he stated, "In light of the fact that God should stop to pity this underhanded country." For Hosea felt as Amos had felt concerning the life of Israel. Furthermore, he knew more about it than Amos could have known, in light of the fact that he lived amidst it. Be that as it may, the name had another importance, too. Hosea said to himself, "How might I look any more extended with pity and absolution upon the direct of my better half?"
At that point when a young man was conceived, Hosea called him by a name which signifies "Not my kin." And, once more, the neighbors pondered about it. "Hosea," they stated, "this is the queerest name we ever heard. Why not call your young men Abraham, or Isaac, or Jacob, or some respectable name like different people? What do you mean by 'Not my kin'?" He stated, "The time approaches when the Master might state to this country, 'You were my kin, yet now you are my kin no more, because of your transgressions.'" Yet here, once more, Hosea was thinking additionally about his own particular home. He was stating to himself, "Must I not state to my significant other, she is not my better half? She has isolated herself from me by her mischievous behavior."
At that point she left and left him. What's more, months passed, and months passed, and she didn't return. Infrequently he found out about her, however all that he heard was awful. She was in abhorrence organization. At that point he discovered that her first terrible companions had neglected her, and that she was currently with the individuals who were more awful; and after that with the individuals who were more regrettable still. He heard that she had lost her excellence and her gayety, and looked old and debilitated and hopeless. Finally some individual came to him and stated, "Hosea, I saw your significant other today in the slave showcase. She has been forsaken by every one of her colleagues, and the remainder of them is attempting to offer her as a slave."
Instantly, Hosea went and got her. He paid fifteen bits of silver, and a few bushels of grain. He took her home. There they sat down where they had once been upbeat, in the home which she had ruined and relinquished. Also, the little youngsters went to their mom and adored her; and Hosea cherished her still disregarding all that had happened.
The following day, Hosea assembled his neighbors. "Companions," he stated, "you think about the inconvenience in my family. Everyone knows it. What's more, you have maybe heard that I have taken my significant other back. I wish to state a word to you.
"I have been instructed an incredible truth, which, as I think upon it, appears to me nearly the best truth there is. I have come to see that God is similarly on a par with we are. It appears an unusual thing to state, however we have not trusted it. We have trusted that the adoration for God is less consistent than our own affection, and that He is less forsaken and pardoning than we are. Companions, that is not really. Indeed, even as I cherish my significant other, despite all her wrongdoing, so does God adore His kin regardless of all their insidiousness. The adoration for God resembles the affection for a mother for her tyke; it resembles the affection for a dedicated spouse for his better half. God is enormously disappointed at us, and He will doubtlessly give us a chance to endure the agonies and disciplines which we merit. However, through it all, He cherishes us. When we come back to Him in distress, He will get us.
"Companions, I have changed the names which I have given to two of my kids. My little girl whom I called 'No Pity,' I now call "Pity" in recognition of the immense benevolent actions of God. What's more, my little child whom I named 'Not My Kin,' I now name 'My Kin,' for we are still God's kin, and He is still our God."
At that point Hosea backpedaled into the house, and close the entryway, and, similar to Amos, composed a book.
