You Married Who?

Let us muse today from Hosea 1:2 to and the subject of you married who? The prophets were known for their way out sermon illustrations. Isaiah walk the streets dressed like a prisoner of war. Jeremiah carried a yoke on his shoulders. Ezekiel got a strange hair cut and played war like a little boy to make a theological point. God in the days of Hosea thought all the northern kingdoms were living in spiritual adultery having an affair with the world as a harlot. In order to preach a living illustration God told Hosea to marry a women given to whoredoms. The word whoredoms is the plural indicating a woman with multiple lovers. God will go to all lengths to get the truth to us. If God has shared truth with you through divine revelations we should rejoice in such a kind act. He is not obligated and has left many in the dark, even after the most clear illustration which Hosea has given these people.
