Judgment on Israel and Judah

Today’s Feast Sep. 27, 2014- Hosea 5 Judgment on Israel and Judah clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “21 These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you”  Psalm 50:21 Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Hosea Chapter 5; “The Divine judgments against Israel. (1-7) Approaching desolations threatened. (8-15) Verses 1-7 The piercing eye of God saw secret liking and disposition to sin, the love the house of Israel had to their sins, and the dominion their sins had over them… See how much it is our concern to seek God early, now, while it is the accepted time, and the day of salvation. Verses 8-15 The destruction of impenitent sinners is not mere talk, to frighten them, it is a sentence which will not be recalled… Those who are led by severe trials to seek God earnestly and sincerely, will find him a present help and an effectual refuge; for with him is plenteous redemption for all who call upon him. There is solid peace, and there only, where God is.” - Matthew Henry Concise Because Israel and Judah have acted faithlessly against the Lord; (Hosea 5:1-7 ) Hosea prophesies their destruction.  God announces judgments against the Israelites (Hosea 5:8-15 ) by dedicating themselves to false religious practices.  Israel left the one true God to follow false gods (Hosea 4:12-19) until they seek God and they pay for their sins; “15 I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me.” Hosea 5:15  English Standard Versions (ESV).  Praise God!  Jesus has already paid the full price for our sins, (see John 3:16) all we need to do is accept God’s gift of life everlasting!  God loves every person all they need to do is turn against sin and accept Jesus; “33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Hebrews 10:30-31 ESV.  God does not only want give us a new life (see John 10:10) He wants that new life to be an abundant life. Today, now is the day of your salvation Don’t wait another minute to leave, change or quit anything (see Revelation 3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute.  Can you hear Jesus calling you?  Will you answer Him today?
