Hosea 1-4

The message from Hosea to Israel is played out in his family. The children are named to remind the people of what God is planning. And Hosea's wife mimics the unfaithfulness of her people. But God looks past the present and focuses on a future salvation and king. A salvation not of military or political means (1:7), and a king who is a promised child of David (3:5). That salvation came on a cross by Jesus.
