Spiritual Steps to Jesus
Individually saved by Jesus in His book: the Book of Hosea - part 2
|
Hosea 3:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD
|
AMAZING ! The Father says to Jesus, Go again and love her again according to the LOVE we have...
Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
| |
Ho 3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver,
|
Jesus was bought condemned as a crimminal for 30 pieces of silver. Homer was just a whore worth 15 pieces of silver. Purchased by her husband from the gutter of trash.
| |
Ho 3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
|
Jesus is willing to take us back, time and time again...Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
| |
Ho 4:2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
|
The most vile of sinning is going on inside the Church, the unfaithful married to Jesus, doing whoredoms of sinning. We think we are good, but there are none that doeth good. ..Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
| |
Ho 4:6 � My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
|
Knowledge is the source of power...words...studying the words of Jesus...is the source of all power...where are the words of Jesus ?
| |
seeing thou hast forgotten the law "torah" of thy God,
|
The torah teaching... law "torah" the entire books of the Bible are called "torah" not just the first five books of Scripture, but all messages of Jesus teachings written as moved by men inspired by the Holy Spirit...2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
| |
Ho 4:11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
|
Wine is a symbol of doctrines and teachings about salvation. New wine is a religious taste for something new and different...whereas Jesus does not change...His doctrines are steeped in the Old Testament unchanged and preserved afresh in the New Testament...new wine in new wine skins, was meant to mean, Jesus OT wine, in a NT skin setting, not the abolition of OT systems. Instead we have confusion, Satan creates Churches with confusion, and new wines.
Re 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Re 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Re 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. {abundance: or, power}
(KJV)

Ho 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains,
|
Why are most hospitals today built on tops of mountains?
| |
Ho 4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
|
Backsliding calves, head strong...lambs tend to follow..young calves are unruly..
| |
Ho 6:1 � Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
|
A promise of prayers answered in three days after affliction and tribulation..How loving is Jesus, in the earth afflicted for our sinning and raised to joy on the third day !
| |
Ho 6:4 � O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
|
The sun beats hot and the dew of the grass evaporates because the water of the Holy Spirit is in short supply. How weak and shallow is our love.
Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
