20-Aug-2026
The prophet Hosea seems to have prophesied between the years 752-722 BC, the years leading up to the fall of the northern nation of Israel. The book of Hosea deals with difficult issues and has been a challenge to many readers. Some have even doubted the prophet Hosea’s ministry because they struggle with God’s command to Hosea to marry a prostitute. The Bible is clear though, God spoke to Hosea, and he followed through. The point of the action was to shockingly illustrate the reality of the relationship between God and his faithless people. God’s instructions to Hosea no doubt had personal painful consequences for the prophet, but these exist for all of us as we die to ourselves to follow Christ (MATTHEW 16:24; GALATIANS 2:20). Hosea had three children with his wife Gomer, the first of which is from him, the other two we don’t really know if Hosea was the father. The LORD names the children for
the purpose of telling Israel the truth about their failures.

generation” ( J O E L 1 : 3 ). With these words, the prophet Joel opens his writing to the entire world. His prophecies will be quoted by Peter on the day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2. We don’t kno... -
God's Angry Man; Amos 1-4
In Hebrew, the name Amos means “burden-bearer”. He was not a priest, or a previously known prophet, instead he claims to be a sheep-breeder and sycamore-fig tree farmer. His home was in a small, fortified town about five miles south of Bethlehem in the nation of Judah. With these not-very-impress...
