Publisher's Synopsis
GET HELP! GET HOPE! EMBEDDED IN THE NAMES OF HOSEA'S three children was a prophetic declaration of what was to be the fate of Ephraim, the northern kingdom known as Israel: "God will scatter like seed," "no pity, no mercy" and "not My people." Though God's discipline of His wayward children seemed fatal, hope was on the horizon . . . "...and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, 'Ye are not My people, ' there it shall be said unto them, 'Ye are the sons of the living God'" (Hosea 1:10b). THE ISRAEL OF GOD HELP & HOPE FROM HOSEA, by Daniel Botkin, is a sober study on how Ephraim provoked the wrath of God, with an encouraging connection for Gentile believers in Yeshua (Jesus) who share the redemptive promise of Ephraim today.
