UNIFORM Sunday School Lesson REV. W. A. HUNEYCUTT Pastor Black Mountain First Baptist Church. June 20, 19B4. HOSEA PLEADS WITH ISRAEL Hosea 4:6-7:16 Hosea was a prophet with senti ment while Amos was a prophet of principle. Hosea reminds us of John the beloved in the New Testa ment. He was gentle, sensitive, affectionate, and filled w'ith do mestic and patriotic feelings. The home of the prophet seems to have been in the hill country between Bethel and Jerusalem. Here the religion of Jehovah God was kept in its prestine purity on J Haircut tins / Hi Experts WE SPECIALIZE IN CHELDREN’S HAIRCUTS OUR HAIRCUTS STILL 75c PALACE BARBER SHOP 114 Cherry — Phone 5461 OPEN UNTIL 6 P.M. SATURDAY 7:30 P.M. the border of the desert. It is probable that Hosea was a farmer for he takes great pride in the desert life; however, he was not a strict ascetic. The first three chapters of Ho sea have to do with his tragic do mestic family life. Perhaps the prophet wrote this in restrospect, and looking back upon his domes tice life saw the hand of God lead ing him and out of it all he was enabled to see the sins of his peo ple in the light of God's love. I. The Social and Political Background. The time does not differ from that of Amos. Jereboam II was succeeded by a group of weakling kings, who came and went as they were man-made and man-murder ed. Moral, social, and political decay had set in and the people were unable to understand the signs of the time. Israel had de spised his birthright and had soil ed himself among the nations through careless intercourse. “Eph raim hath mixed himself among the nations, Ephraim is a cake not turned.” (7:8) As the nation goes unheeding towards destruction, the priests re joice in the sins of the people and make religion a large-scale rack et. Religion ceases to elevate the morals of the people when her rep resentatives live on the level of the worst sinners. One wonders what would happen in our world were it not for God raising up a prophet ever now and then to speak his message. II. Hosea Pleads With the People.

NO. 1 MONTREAT ROAD Th»- (>niiit inniil anneals of Hose a can be felt as one reads this book with the historical background in mind. The prophet perceives that his people are perishing for lack of knowledge. Hosea calls religion knowledge of God. “My people perish for lack of knowledge." (4:6). “They know not Jehovah.' (5:4). “Because thou hast reject ed knowledge I will reject thee” (4:6). George Adams Smith says: “It is-—to know so as to feel the force of: knowledge not as acquisi tion but as an impression. To quote Paul's distinction it is not so much apprehending as being apprehended.” The prophet gives three basic misdeeds in Israel's life. They are: first, the nations seeks security in materials arms. “They go to Rgypt, they go to Assyria” (7:11). They fail to understand that Je hovah is their saviour. The proph et sees the danger of depending upon military alliances and leav ing God out of life. Second, the prophet sees the danger of the monarchy. There seems to have been a school of thought which opposed the monarchy from the beginning as an evil and Hosea seems to fall in this school of thought. He decrys the principle in chapters 9:15: 10:3,9; 13:9-11. The third evils is idolatry. The nation in its youth wralked with Jehovah and Jehovah protected the people, but now they have gone after other gods. They have be come filled with “A spirit of whoredom” (5:4). They have be come wedded to idols (4:17). They have received the gifts and priv ileges from Jehovah and now they have turned and given thanks to other gods, which are impotent to save. They have sinned against love. They have profaned the marriage vows (11). Hosea be lieved that God was a God of Holy Love and his loving heart was broken because of the sins of the people. Hosea also taught the doctrine of repentance. To him the judg ments of God were disciplinary and retributive. As a faithful husband he loved his wife and teas willing to forgive her and buy her back to be his w’ife again because of his love for her. Forgiveness cost and cost tremendously. But God is willing to pay the price for sin and set the sinner free. He is willing to grant forgiveness to the sinner who is willing to repent and turn back to Him. Forgive ness w'as a reality to Hosea and he makes an emotional appeal for Israel to turn back to God. Israel refused to repent, but the prophet delivered his soul. Thoughts On The Lesson. 1. Spiritual ignorance does not mean merely that man doesn’t know' the laws of God, for in our day people know' but they do not abide by what they know. Intel lectual knowledge is not enough; there must be a commitment to God. • Grade “A” Meats GROUND BEEF. CLUB STEAKS ...... LOOSE WIENERS.

There isn’t anything that causes more suffering than offended love. God is not only a God of Holy love; He is a God of righteous love. d. An unstable mind and heart is vulnerable to evil at all times. Man must make up his mind to trust God or he will be like a “silly dove.” BUCKEYE AND JIMS BRANCH Mrs. Clyde Pickens Phone 2-1427 Thursday, June 10. Rev. J. H.
