  • Today, we will explore one of the most moving and powerful stories in the Bible: the marriage of the prophet Hosea to Gomer, a prostitute. Hello, dear viewers of the Bible Stories channel! Today, we will embark together on a journey of spiritual discovery, exploring a captivating and meaning-filled story found in the pages of the Bible. The intriguing topic we will cover is: "Why God told Hosea to marry a prostitute." This narrative, recorded in the book of Hosea, goes beyond a simple historical account; it invites us to delve into the depths of the relationship between God and the people of Israel. Before we explore this unique story, I ask you to subscribe to the channel and share your comments below. Let's enrich this community of faith together. Now, let's enter this universe of symbolism and precious lessons.
    This narrative transcends time and cultures, revealing God's deep heart and his unshakable relationship with the people of Israel.
    Imagine the scene: Hosea, a man of unshakable faith, receives the divine order to marry someone whose life was marred by sin and promiscuity. This was not a simple symbolic act; it was a vivid representation of the sad spiritual reality of Israel at the time, as Israel's departure from God was a recurring pattern in the history of the people of Israel, recorded in the Bible.
    This separation happened for several reasons over the centuries. The beginning of the word of the Lord, through Hosea, said: "The Lord is Hosea, he will take a woman of whoredoms and children of whoredoms, because the land only prostitutes itself by separating itself from the Lord." (Hosea Chapter 1, Verses 2 and 3).

    How great is Gods love for us. Letting us know how God feels when we are unfaithful and constantly turn against him. What a great illustration. Hosea story is one of my favorite bible stories. We have this happening in our own society. We see this prostitution in our own society. But God is so good his love unending in his forgiveness.

    I THINK you did a good job on the video and lot of what you said of the power of love is true. But what did HOSEA tell them if they didn't change. The Wrath of GOD. Around 20 YEARS after HOSEA 721BC the Northern Kingdom of Israel was DESTROYED FOREVER. Most people like to think of it as the LOST 10 Tribes but not lost but destroyed. Most people don't know at the time they were killing their KIDS and Women to MOLECH and Baal and had 2 GOLDEN CALFS killing them...This LOVE STORY is of how it hurts GOD to see what has happen. THEY WERE DESTROYED FOREVER because of their EVIL. Gods going to do the same thing to this evil world they won’t call it LOVE...But I know it is LOVE

    This my life in a nutshell unfortunately. I was raised Mormon. A christian baptized at 7 throughly immersed into Mormonism. In fact this reminds me of the book if Corinthians talking about gifts; "...but the greatest gifts of all is the gift of love". Even though i stopped reading the bible 40 years ago & stopped attending church 15 years ago. I have over come a husband who lied to me in order to marry a domestic wife. He was never a Christian & never would be. Later i married again unfortunately i was lied to again but this time i immediately divorced with a restraining order for life. Never remarried but continued ti go to church until i saw all tge corruption, hypocrisy, & jealousy because of who i was, am. So i completly stopped. But continued off and on again praying by myself. Until i saw your video's. A great opputunity to be a part of his life again and not surrounded by
    In my opinion evil doers.
    On another nite though i have taught my children, who are adult's now, the gift of family & love. Because as i mentioned before the gift of love is tge greatest gift of all and it is easier to work at than to speak in tongues (esoecially when they are just fooling themselves). So, yes, my life is simular to the jews; hit and cold. Now is the time to work on prayer. Thanks

    I think what a lot of people miss about this is that it's a story of refraining from our sinful ways, it isn't saying to marry a 304 what it's saying is the symbolism of how when we sin how it feels to God, in a way us men can understand, now I'm not saying you can't but I'm just making the message clear, when we sin it's like when a woman cheats on a good man, it hurts them deeply, but unlike us God has a love that even when we do such a thing he would still come to our rescue, the lesson is simple, live for God and don't be hard of heart to those who hurt you, be able to forgive and love them as God loves us
