very grateful and appreciative of all the things that our elder sacrificed so that we can live the life we have today.

As we reach the end of the Old Testament, we also reach the Minor Prophets which cover the books of Hosea to Malachi. The prophetic books of the Bible are books of judgment and punishment. They also cover and illustrate the issues of idolatry, social injustices and religious ritualism. Even now in the 21st century these issues still apply to us and we can learn things from the teachings of the prophets. A man named Amos prophesized in Israel during a time of prosperity for the nation;…

who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Do you think Paul wants to make it very clear so that we are not ignorant of spiritual things? In the Old Testament, Hosea is stating the same thought, “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). The devil is our number one enemy.

love the Lord has for His children. He pursues us relentlessly. He had a strong desire to live for the Lord and really struggled because His wife Gomer did not live for the Lord.

Hosea's heart was obviously wrecked when Gomer indiscreetly threw herself at other men time and time again (even…

fact, the term “New Covenant” is only used in the book of Jeremiah (P. 103). This spectacular passage is the promise of the New Covenant, which Jesus later said was fulfilled in Him. The New Covenant is alluded to in the books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Hosea and Malachi (p. 103), but it is strikingly different than the promises made through Abraham, Moses, and David (p. 104).
