10Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
Focused Passage
Hosea 1:10
Hosea's Household as a Sign of Judgment and Mercy
The chapter moves from prophetic dating, to a shocking marriage sign-act, to three covenantal child-names of judgment, and finally to a restoration promise in which the rejected people are regathered and renamed as sons of the living God.
