Do You Know How to Love?(Hosea 1-10)

 Giving your heart means accepting pain. Love for another person loses the logical for the emotion. Sweetness can become purified. One of the greatest perversions of the devil is to take sex, but Adoni wants to have a personal relationship with the Lord; however, we refuse to listen as Jean Chavin in the persona of Hosea in his states in his Commentary on Hosea declares this:

 “If none of you can so know himself as to own his public baseness, if ye are all so obstinate against God, at least know now by my assumed character, that you are all adulterous, and derive your origin from a filthy brothel, for God declares thus concerning you; and as you are not willing to receive such a declaration, it is now set before you in my assumed character.” (pg. 30Christian Classics Ethereal Library )

 Our own anger and wickedness consume anything that we did right.

 Because of His righteous, God will judge if there is no turning from sin. He cannot love sin. Love will hide and judgment will be total. The Lord chose Israel, not the West. Christendom left the One that unified them. Even as the Ancient Israel was dispersed to the wind, sin’s completion marks the West’s doom.

Children of the Lord must tell their holy nation to repent. The Lord will take away what He gave if we use it for idolatry. The West has so prostitute herself; she forgot how to love. The Lord wants to be a husband, not a master, but will judge sin likewise as Paul Fiddles wrote in the Cross of Hosea Revisited, “There is no conflict of love and wrath within God; both mean suffering for him, in an intricate double movement of pain, a complex experience that be described poetically but not literally as a struggle with himself.” (pg. 185-186) Like He gave us manna in the Exodus, the Lord provides but now by our hand, but we use it for our idols. Our own lust caused global warming, but one day, He will heal the world.

 Truth has dispersed in the land that lost true love. Theft, murder and violence turn the land savage. You destroyed your own cites. Lack of intimacy with the Lord destroys those who reject Him. Your own minds have become your gods, for the wind of prostitution has brought error.

A child of God must truly confront his own wickedness to serve the Lord. By turning to the Lord, we draw others to follow in turning their sins as Jean Chauvin wrote later in his Commentary of Hosea this:

Let every one, then, learn to stimulate himself; and then, let him stretch out his hand to others, that they may follow. We are at the same time reminded that we ought to undertake the care of our brethren; for it would be a shame for any one to be content with his own salvation, and so to neglect his brethren. It is then necessary to join together these two things, — To stir up ourselves to repentance,— and then to try to lead others with us.(pg. 212 Christian Classics Ethereal Library)

The Lord never promises a quick fix after repentance, but we seek a personal relationship, for El Shaddai wants to bless. We are the unfaithful ones for our repentance does not last. The Lord wants repentance to a relationship as Hosea 14:2 declares, ‘Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips.”’ NASU

By the sin of the golem Adam, we fell. What the Holy One ordained as a refuge, we desecrated with blood. Our Men of God have led us to sin having become hell spawn. We have prostituted ourselves that it is appalling. When the Lord seeks to heal, we refuse.

In the lands that once knew the Almighty, deceit became a profession. America mixes Jesus and patriotism so they may condemn the president but cannot leave their sin. The West’s glory is Christendom, so the Cross testifies against us. God does not take sides in the War on Terror. The Confederacy was the bastion of the judeo-christian faith and practice but still lost as Robert Mathisen in his book The Routledge Sourcebook of Religion and the American Civil War: a History in Documents attributes to Lincoln, “In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is different from the purpose of either party; and yet the human instrumentalites, working just as they do, are the best adaptation for his purposes.” (Pg. 176 New York:Routledge,2014) If the Jews who were given special exceptions were judged for breaking covenant, the West fell for Matthew 15:8 states, “THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.” NASU

The Holy One has rejected Christendom. The church is no longer capable of purity. The image we created of God is an Idol. When we forget our creator it is like we could loose our salvation. You love the salary of debauchery. The Lost tribes were cast to the wind to recognize only the shadow of Torah.

There is a stone in Afghanistan with Hebrew letters on it, and the guide was surprised when the archaeologist tried to read it. After an explanation of the foreigner's Jewishness, the Pushtu cried, “You are my brother.”(Quest for the Lost Tribes, Director Simcha Jacobovici)  The Tribes that were lost to man are being found though the divine. The people who were not Israel are becoming one people again. This dispersion came to to the World so those who were never were connected to Jacob saw the Holy One adding to the Children of the Almighty.

Render Justice. Find satisfaction in the Lord. Come to the Lord's presence.
