What we can learn from Hoshea?
I shall call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved
In a very real sense, then, we, who previously weren’t his people, have become part of the fulfilment of this prophesy! We can learn from this prophet, and from what he had to say about the intimate relationship between Yahweh and his people. Most of us are not Jews. From the perspective of modern-day Jews, we are seen as “outsiders” and “foreigners”. But from Yahweh’s perspective, we have become insiders, and recipients of the privileges of sons and daughters. Let us not think for one moment that Yahweh will not interact with us, and comfort and encourage and teach and discipline us. We are now part of his people. Let us remember that He does not change. The way He interacted with his people in the days of the prophet Hoshea, teaches us how He is interacting with us today, and how He will keep on interacting with those who will call upon his Name in future.
Let us take one more good look at the two chapters of Hoshea 10 and 11. Here we find a very clear picture of the contrast that transpires in the prophetic books of the TaNaKh: Yisra’el is portrayed as Yahweh’s BELOVED, but also his BECLOUDED people. The word “beclouded” means something or someone has become disorientated with clouds of confusion – the kind of thing that happens when someone who came to know Yahweh, inexplicably chooses to pursue something different than the clearly spelled out and highlighted path found in Scripture. Let us find renewed encouragement in the surprising way in which Yahweh responds when those who claim to be his people, often do things that surround them with confusion and put them in danger of being alienated from the very Source of their existence.
John Wahl has a wonderful way of putting all of this together, therefore we urge you to switch off everything else this evening, and use one of the available apps or the link provided below to hear how he and other teachers tell us about the love of YAH.
