LESSON FOR DECEMBER 12
JEHOVAH YEARNS OVER ISRAEL.
LESSON TEXT-Hosea 11:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT-I drew them with
cords of a mnan, with bands of love.
Hosea 11:4.
A contemporary of Isaiah and Amos,
Hosea continued to prophesy after
the first captivity of the northern
kingdom. Ills style is abrupt and fig
urative. Israel is Jehovah's adulter
ous wife, repudiated, but finally to be
purified and restored. This lesson is
a part of the second section of thu
book (4:1-13:8), which is a descrip
tion of the sinful people.
I. "The Perverse Child," vv. 1.7.
The "remnant" (ch. 6:1-3) had cried
out for relief. (See Isa. 1:9; Rom.
2:5). Jehovah's reply (begins 6:4) is
a severe arraignment of Israel's back
sliding as contrasted with his grace.
To understand this lesson read the
entire book repeatedly. In verse 1 of
the lesson Jehovah recalls to the na
tion the days of its childhood. Be
cause of his great love (Deut. 7:7)
he called them out of Egypt, the land
of bondage, into Canaan, the land of
blessing and liberty. Yet Israel sensed
not its duty nor its obligation of grati
tude. We are living under a greater
obligation because of the greater re
demption God has provided for us in
the person of his Son. God here calls
Israel "my son" (Ex. 4:22); we have
the right to call ourselves sons (John
1:12; I. John 3:1-2). Matthew's gos
pel applies these words to him who
alone was fully and in the true sense
God's son. Jesus is the summary of
the whole nation in that he alone fully
realized God's purpose in Israel (Matt.
2:15).
As contrasted with what a son is
or should be verse 2 gives a picture
of Israel's wandering. The whole his
tory of the nation is one of going after
false gods. (I. Sam: 8:7-9 and many
other references.) In those childhood
days (v. 3) Jehovah taught them how
to walk, and healed their hurts. "but
they knew not"-God, as a tender Fa
tlier, had watched over, taught, guid
ed and healed (10x. 19:14; Isa. 46:3;
63:9). Even so, in this present age
God is a God of mercy and long suf
fering (Rom. 2:4), yet the mass of
men "know not" what God is doing
for them. In verse 4 the child has
grown older and as mothers often
tether a child lest it run away, so Je
hovah endeavors to draw Israel to
him with "cords of love." His cord
of love n'w is the mighty power of
Calvary (John 12:32). Jehovah not
only drew but even sought to entice,
for he "laid meal unto them"-Jesus
will deliver us, for lie bore our yoke
(Matt. 11:28-30) and is for us the
Bread of Life (John 6:35, 68). Love
does not mean that the backslidler
shall be free from punishment. "Be.
cause they refused to return .
the sword shall abide" (v. 5-6 and Ieb.
12:6). even so God did not permit
them to go back to Egyptian bond
age (v. 5). "Israel was " bent to back
sliding." In spite of the constant call
to worship and serve him none "would
exalt him."
lI. The Pleading Parent, vv. 8-12.
None can fathom the depths of the
cry. "How shall I give thee up, How
shall I deliver thee" (v. 8). Israel
wvould persist and still Jehovah pleadls
that perchance they would 1heed his
cry (Jer. 9:7; Lam. 3:33). Admah
and Zeboim were irretrievably ever.
thrown with Sodom and Gomorrah
(Deut. 29:33), shall Israel likewise
perish? No! (v. 9) for "I am God, not
man." God does not, like man,
change--his covenants are not "scraps
of paper," his love is everlasting (Ntu.
23:19). It is not God but man who is
responsible for his destruction. The
"Holy One in the mlidst of thee" is
there to save, not as an avenger. God
has no. come into our midlst in wrath
-God's passionate desire is to save
not to destroy. His purposes are
those of love and redemrptioni and as
with Israel of 01(1, so in this age, he
will carry out these purposes in spite
of our backsliding (Romn. 11:28-29).
Verseit 10 and 11 are prophletic of the
ultimate repentance and restoration of
Israel~-Judgment shall pass uiponi their
foes (Joel 3:16) and those of the dis
persion (see parallel Isa. 11:11-16)
shall gather, as "(loves t~o their win
dews," and be on1ce more "ini their
houses," I. e., set uip as; a nation in
their God-given land. Ephraim (v. 12)
sought to rule without or by (castinlg
off Jehovah (I. Cor. 4:8).
