The prophet Hosea marries a woman whom he deeply loves. But time and again she defiles the marriage bed. Hosea’s heart is broken, and he feels the most extreme sorrow that a man can feel, when his wife abandons him. He learns how God feels. He comes to understand that the worst thing in the realm of sin is apathy to the love of God. What does the relationship between Hosea and his unfaithful wife reveal about the relationship between Yahweh and Israel? Today’s Top Ten List explores “Ten Parallels Between Hosea and Gomer and God and His People.”
