Hosea 5

That's a rare noun and it occurs only here.

Though a relative verb appears once in Hosea 5 and 13.

So its exact shade has to be judged from context and not from repeated use.

So context supports benefits, healing, or a wholesome effect.

Flurry says, in other words, the remedy is the wound.

Here in Hosea 5 and verse 13, the remedy, the so-called solution, to the Jews' problems is the wound.

And that is why they will turn to Germany for help in desperation.

So what is this foreign policy decision that the Jews have made in recent decades that has failed horrifically and is causing them to lose power, to lose security and safety, And even causing the whole world to turn against them.

They hate the Jews as well.

And they're going to fight each other for the Holy Land, for Jerusalem.

But then you also have the Jews, driven to desperation by this peace pact of Hosea 5 and verse 13.

They'll actually turn to Germany for help.

And that's in

Hosea 5.

So Hosea 5 and verse 11 to 12, those verses say Ephraim.

So that's, you know, we can say Canada.

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment because he willingly walked after the commandment.

Next, you can tap any scripture reference to read the passage without leaving the app.

So if I'm preaching on Hosea 5, you'll be able to tap on it and see the passage of scripture and read it without ever leaving the app or having to open a different Bible app.

Whoa! That's...

And I would rather you looking at the text than just hearing me read it.

Over here in the book of Hosea, like I said, there's just a lot of prophetic connections as well as New Testament writers' connections.

But in Hosea 5, I have three or four verses to share with you.

Verse 6 says, god says they will go with their flocks and urge to seek yahweh but they will not find he has withdrawn from them down in the verses 14 and 15 i will be a lion to ephraim and like a young land of the house of judah i even i will tear two pieces and go away i will carry away and there'll be none to deliver i will go away and return to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face in their affliction they will earnestly seek me and of course in chapter 6 verses 1 through 3 they say on the third day he will raise us up and we'll get into that at a later time But the point is, God said, I'm going to hide from them because they're not honoring me.

I'm not going to listen to them.

Um, let's see.

Hosea 5:15, "Then I will return to my lair until they have borne the guilt and seek my face.

In their misery they will earnestly seek me." So again, this is God saying that there's gonna be this misery and they're gonna have guilt, and I'm gonna be in the heavenly realms until they seek me.

And in their min- once we get into our misery, I mean, this is speaking to a person, but God is, treats all of us the same.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

In fact, I'm going away, and I'm not coming back until you cry out for me, which is the fulfillment of Hosea 5, verse 15, where the Messiah says, I will return again to my place, and you will not see me again until you acknowledge your offense.

And in your affliction, you will cry out to me, and then I will return to you.

So you have the whole context of it.

And it's used by God to preserve his people from a Hitler-like annihilation attempt.

And remember, Satan has to wipe out the Jews because of Hosea 5, verse 15.

They have to petition God and repent in order for Jesus to return at the end of the tribulation.

So the anti-Semitism you're seeing grow across the world right now The reason it's always been there, but it's even getting deeper and deeper right now.
