What was the prophet Hosea’s message to the northern kingdom of Israel?
Answer:
The message of the prophet Hosea to the northern kingdom of Israel was a message declaring God’s lawsuit against Israel. It proclaimed God’s judgment and punishment against Israel because of their sin, because they did not repent, and because they rejected the Lord by worshiping foreign gods. Also, part of this message was exhorting the people to return to the Lord, affirming God’s love towards his people, as in chapter 11, and encouraging them to repent and return to the Lord, as we can see in chapter 14.
