{"product_id":"2940148937777","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 33: Osee","description":"THE PROPHECY OF OSEE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOSEE, or Hosea, whose name signifies A saviour, was the first in the\u003cbr\u003eorder of time among those who are commonly called lesser prophets,\u003cbr\u003ebecause their prophecies are short. He prophesied in the kingdom of\u003cbr\u003eIsrael, that is, of the ten tribes, about the same time that Isaias\u003cbr\u003eprophesied in the kingdom of Juda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOsee Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy marrying a harlot, and by the names of his children, the prophet sets\u003cbr\u003eforth the crimes of Israel and their punishment. He foretells their\u003cbr\u003eredemption by Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. The word of the Lord, that came to Osee, the son of Beeri, in the\u003cbr\u003edays of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda, and in the\u003cbr\u003edays of Jeroboam, the son of Joas, king of Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. The beginning of the Lord's speaking by Osee: and the Lord said to\u003cbr\u003eOsee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications, and have of her children of\u003cbr\u003efornications: for the land by fornication shall depart from the Lord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wife of fornications... That is, a wife that has been given to\u003cbr\u003efornication. This was to represent the Lord's proceedings with his\u003cbr\u003epeople Israel, who, by spiritual fornication, were continually offending\u003cbr\u003ehim.-Ibid. Children of fornications... So called from the character of\u003cbr\u003etheir mother, if not also from their own wicked dispositions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Debelaim: and she\u003cbr\u003econceived, and bore him a son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little\u003cbr\u003ewhile, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu,\u003cbr\u003eand I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the\u003cbr\u003evalley of Jezrahel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him:\u003cbr\u003eCall her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy\u003cbr\u003eon the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout mercy... Lo-Ruhamah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by\u003cbr\u003ethe Lord, their God: and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor\u003cbr\u003eby battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And she\u003cbr\u003econceived, and bore a son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my\u003cbr\u003epeople, and I will not be yours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot my people... Lo-ammi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of\u003cbr\u003ethe sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it\u003cbr\u003eshall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my\u003cbr\u003epeople: it shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe number, etc... Viz., of the true Israelites, the children of the\u003cbr\u003echurch of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. And the children of Juda, and the children of Israel, shall be\u003cbr\u003egathered together: and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall\u003cbr\u003ecome up out of the land: for great is the day of Jezrahel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne head... viz., Christ.-Ibid. Great is the day of Jezrahel... That is,\u003cbr\u003eof the seed of God; for Jezrahel signifies the seed of God.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067967521008,"sku":"2940148937777","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148937777_p0.jpg?v=1763709982","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148937777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
