1 | Hosea and ripping babies from the wombs | Hosea | KenM | 30683 | ||
Hi slide_m46, I can see why an unbeliever or a seeker would be shocked at the book of Hosea. There is a lot to be shocked it during this time. The people of the Northern Kingdom had turned completely away from one true God, even to the point of sacrificing there own children to a false god called BAAL. The book of Hosea is God prophecy to the Northern Kingdom warning them to change their ways and to do it quickly, or face the consequences of their prideful actions. You can see God concern and hope for the Northern Kingdom although Hosea, but Chp 14 pretty more answers the question about, is God being cruel or not. God is willing to Help, Heal and forgive those who turn back to Him. As far as what we see in: Hos 13:16 “Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. “ Again this is prophecy about what was about to happen, which was the invasion of Shalmaneser king of Assyria. (You read about this in 2 Kings 17:5) So prideful and sure of themselves the Northern Kingdom held out for three year against Shalmaneser, but after that Shalmaneser took his revenge on them by sacking and plundering the cities, take the population into slavery and trying to end any future claim or inheritances as a people by kill the young/unborn. Hope this helps |

God bless you for your answer. I will share this with my "freind". She is not really a freind, but rather a chat room acquantance who goes to the room to cause division among the lovers of Christ. She is also there, in my opinion, to sway those "on the fence" away from Jesus. I have to stop it! I pray to our Lord God for strength thru Christ Jesus. Take care. PS. If interested, it's Yahoo christian chat room 4. You are welcomed to assist any time you like. Praise His Holy Name. | ||||||

Dear Slide, "I have to stop it" Keep in mind "God willing". Martin Luther said "even the devil is God's devil". Acts 4:26-30 'THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND, AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST.' For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus." God Bless, John Reformed |
