He commanded Hosea to be faithful to Gomer.
Sean LukeHOST
as an image of that eternal running towards us, which he would then personify in the incarnation, despite our sinfulness, despite our wretchedness, despite our, uh, are beating back the light that reaches our heart.
Sean LukeHOST
Nevertheless, his desire is to disengage us from sin and sickness, to touch our hearts with his celestial quickness, to join the sort of rhythm of love that characterizes the movement of the cosmos toward participation in the divine nature.
Obed MatusHOST
A vivid dramatization appears in Ezekiel 4, 1 through 8, where God asked the prophet to make a miniature model of Jerusalem to lay himself down, first on his left side for 390 days, representing the house of Israel, and then on his right side for 40 days, representing the house of Judah.
Obed MatusHOST
Another visual experience was Hosea's divinely ordained marriage to Gomer, a prostitute, representing Israel's spiritual unfaithfulness to God.
Obed MatusHOST
The dramatic experiences of Ezekiel and Hosea seem quite shocking today.
Obed MatusHOST
But that was the point.

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, go take for yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.

Paul WhiteHOST
It says what you think it says.
Paul WhiteHOST
Hosea is told to marry a whore.
Paul WhiteHOST
named Gomer.
Paul WhiteHOST
I ask you, is this a real event? I quickly follow it up with a follow-up question, does it matter? I didn't want you to linger there too long and get lost in the weeds going, oh no, is it real? Does it matter if it's real? Or, oh, what if it's not real? I just want you to know, I want you to ask yourself the follow-up question, does it matter if this really happened or does this matter if it's a metaphor? It doesn't matter to me.

Mo SenaHOST
The dramatic experiences of Ezekiel and Hosea seem quite shocking today, but that was the point.
Mo SenaHOST
They were supposed to be shocking, not just to us, but also to the people back then.
Jonathan LiviHOST
He's getting a Nebu'ah, and this is what happens in his Nebu'ah, and it's something he's being told to do b'mara Nebu'ah, but does Hosea actually get up and go with a harlot? It's not in the real world, maybe in the Nebu'ah state.
Jonathan LiviHOST
So Hosea goes and he takes Gomer, daughter of Divlaim, and she became pregnant and she gave birth to him a son.
Jonathan LiviHOST
And then Hashem says, call his name Israel.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Now what is Israel? Israel is the dominant geographical location of the northern kingdom.

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take to yourself a wife of Hordom, and have children of Hordom, for the land commits great Hordom by forsaking the Lord.
Kristyn GettyHOST
So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Kristyn GettyHOST
And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Kristyn GettyHOST
And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Alex McFarlandHOST
Amen.
Alex McFarlandHOST
You know, Bert, I remember several years ago there was a movie based on the book of Hosea and Gomer.
Alex McFarlandHOST
And I don't exactly remember the name of it, but it was kind of during the California gold rush.
Alex McFarlandHOST
A farmer fell for a woman that had kind of a bad past.
Bert HarperHOST
Verse 3.
Bert HarperHOST
Again, this is chapter 3.
Bert HarperHOST
If you remember what it is, Hosea married this woman called Gomer.
Bert HarperHOST
She became or was an adulterer, harlot.
Nikki ParkGUEST
The text...
Nikki ParkGUEST
There's a specific text I want to talk about, actually, and it'll get us to the Gomer.
Sadie CarpenterHOST
So the text that he sent to Micah in order to manipulate her lack subtlety and power.
Sadie CarpenterHOST
i have seen text to 18 19 20 year old domestic violence victims from their dumb ass 18 19 20 year old boyfriends slash pimps that were better written and more effectively controlling than text that jp sent so i'm saying that he's a he's a domestic he's a domestic abuser and he's also bad at it his texts to micah are simplistic they are overtly threatening instead of relying on implied threats they are they are just he's
Nikki ParkGUEST
I can't do anything.
Nikki ParkGUEST
So I just have to accept that this is what it is.
Sadie CarpenterHOST
So how does this play into, and I think the Hosea and Gomer connection would be a great one to end on.
Sadie CarpenterHOST
I could talk to you all day, but we have been recording a bit.
Alex McFarlandHOST
Okay, so the brethren, chapter 2, verse 1, the Israelites and the mother, the nation of Israel, God is telling them that the mother from which they've been birthed, the nation, is an idolatrous woman.
Alex McFarlandHOST
harlotrous they've turned away and there's a lot of language there about the judgment of God verse 4 I will not have mercy on her children for they are the children of harlotry and of course the three children of Hosea and Gomer are very pictorial of the children of Israel birthed of an immoral nation an immoral mother and I mean, this is – Bert, I'm going to say this and I'm going to throw it to you.
Alex McFarlandHOST
Growing up, you learn really quick one of the worst things ever is for somebody to say something about somebody's mother.
Alex McFarlandHOST
Right? Yes.
