THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY HOSEA 7-10 The liberal assumption today is that humanity has progressed, or evolved, and is more sophisticated than in years gone by. Moderns are far more enlightened than their ancient counterparts. But this isn’t true. It’s certainly erroneous when it comes to how we view sex. The idea of sexual intimacy as nothing more than a biological function, a physical act, is a modern invention. The ancients viewed sex in a much more sophisticated, even spiritual way. They understood its impact on the human psyche and gave it higher value. They considered sexual intimacy as holy or sacred. Even the pagan cults saw sex as an act of worship. To engage in sexual intimacy was to become one with your partner, and to invite the gods to participate with their blessing. This is why nearly all the pagan temples employed sex workers - prostitutes called priestesses - to engage in sex as a religious ritual. The act of sex was seen as a spiritual experience. You became one with the other person, and their god. And this is why our God also saw idolatry in sexual terms. When an Israelite worshipped an idol, Yahweh considered it adultery. That person was being unfaithful to Him. Infidelity and idolatry went hand in hand. This is the background to the story of Hosea. !1 To illustrate Israel’s spiritual betrayal of the true God, Yahweh had the Prophet Hosea marry a prostitute. As his wife, Gomer, was unfaithful to Hosea, Israel had ignored its vows to God and went to bed with idols. -

Hosea 7:1-16 and Destructive Leadership Theory: an Exegetical Study
Hosea 7:1-16 and Destructive Leadership Theory: An Exegetical Study Daniel B. Holmquist Regent University This qualitative hermeneutical study of Hosea 7:1-16 examined Hosea’s insights into leadership and how they might enhance, critique, or refine destructive leadership theory (DLT). After performing a general hermeneutical and genre analysis of the biblical text and uncovering its leadership implications, these implications were intersected with the three domains of the toxic triangle theory of DLT: destructive leaders, susceptible followers, and conducive environments. Although the situation in Hosea 7 illustrated well the toxic triangle of DLT, a number of areas for potential refinement of DLT emerged, especially related to the theory’s reliance upon modern psychology, ethics, and views of culture. DLT remains in the formative stages of development and could benefit from building stronger ethical foundations, investigating additional processes involved in destructive leadership situations, studying the interaction between the three domains of the toxic triangle, and exploring potential solutions to destructive leadership. Insights from Hosea 7, as well as from additional exegetical research of scripture, show promise for further gains toward a more robust theory of destructive leadership. Many leaders have destroyed their organizations, those associated with them, and even themselves. Researchers have referred to such leaders and their leadership as negative, toxic, dark, and destructive, and have developed various theories of destructive leadership to explain the phenomenon, its dimensions, and its processes. Since researchers have only recently begun to investigate and describe destructive leadership—it is a set of theories under development—this would seem to be an opportune time to bring in exegetical research from Scripture to inform and assist with theory development. -
Daddy, Are We There Yet? First, You Must Acknowledge Guilt
NLPC: Women in the Word Feb 27, 2019 Hosea 6–7, Rebecca Jones Daddy, Are We There Yet? Hosea 6:1–3 a parallel with the 5:13–15: no one to heal; I will tear, go away, carry off; return to my place; no rescue until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face. 6:1–3: Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. Is there hope for the wicked? Are these words from the people enough to make the lion come out of his lair? The ride will be rough before the children of Israel arrive at their destination. Their loving father is at the wheel, but his righteous anger is not yet appeased. There is something missing in their cry of hope. First, You Must Acknowledge Guilt What Sin? Fickle in their love, which is gone like the marine layer or morning mist (6:4) Ritualistic in their worship, not true worship (6:6) Faithless to their covenant (6:7) Violent and bloody robbers, thieves, adulterers, bandits and murderers (6:8–10) Treacherous liars (7:1) Angry mockers (7:5–6) King-killers (devour their rulers) (7:7) Syncretists who mix pagan religions with worship of the true God (7:8) Wanderers from God (7:13) and rebellious children (7:13) Self-pitying whiners who won’t repent (7:14) Worshipers who use pagan religious practices -

Israel Missed Her Chance A. Israel (Ephraim) Could Escape Judgment (Hosea 7–12) 1. Israel Turns to Egypt and Assyria, (Hosea 7:1-16) a. God’s plan revealed (He was going to heal them) (Hosea 7:1) 1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity(pervesity) of Ephraim was discovered, and the wicKedness(evil) of Samaria: for they commit falsehood(deception, lie); and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. b. Israel followed their evil heart (Hosea 7:2-3) 2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. 3 They maKe the King glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. c. A Two-fold Illustration (bread & wine) (Hosea 7:4-8) 4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened(to be sour). 5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. 6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. 7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. 8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a caKe not turned. -

Case Study of Hebrew Old Testament Phalasaphiya, Ie, False―Prophecy
Philosophy Study, June 2019, Vol. 9, No. 6, 367-375 doi: 10.17265/2159-5313/2019.06.007 D D AV I D PUBLISHING Philosophy Does Not Mean Love for Wisdom: Case study of Hebrew Old Testament Phalasaphiya, i.e., False―Prophecy, Produced Philosophy Charles Ogundu Nnaji University of Abuja, Abuja, Nigeria The study digs deep into the Semitic-Hebrew Old Testament roots of the word “philosophy” particularly, noting Judges 6:13, Hebrew “Niphilo-tha esh sophru-lanu-abbotenu” transliterated into koine Greek New Testament as “phi-lo-sophia” which means “wonder stories (or teachings) taught us by our fathers; with the figurative meaning as, ‘Are you sure God exists?’”. The study, through its Semitic textual linguistic methodology, also identified Deuteronomy 25:3, Hebrew “Ha-Philo ha-Shophet”, which means “Human Judgments”, is another form of the Hebrew “Phenosophi” (i.e., human additions, Deut 25:3); then, 2 Samuel 3:34, Hebrew “Na-Phala-yo-shophim” (i.e., outdated or dead); please see Colossians 2:8, or to fall and die;; also, 2 Kings 10:23, Hebrew “Phen-Yeo-Shophu” (i.e., Godless people seen also in Job 9:24, Hebrew “Phenoshophet” (i.e., Godless or blind Judgements = Note also Job 22:13, Hebrew “Ara-Phel-yi-shophet” = blind or bad judges; also in 2 Corinthians 4:4, Greek New Testament “Tuphlosen (i.e., blindness). The study observed that 1 Chro 2:47, Hebrew “Epha-we-shaaph” is the Noun form of the Verb “E-phala-shaaphi”, which means “cleverly invented, vague, obscure or added”. The study recommends more studies on the origins and true meaning of philosophy; particularly, looking at Genesis 50:1, Hebrew “Phiolyoseph” which means, “worthless and helpless human knowledge”, while Genesis 48:11, Hebrew “Philalyoseph means, “I thought (I will not see) you again (yoseph = Joseph). -

The Use of Hosea 11:1 in Matthew 2:15: One More Time
JETS 55/4 (2012) 697–715 THE USE OF HOSEA 11:1 IN MATTHEW 2:15: ONE MORE TIME G. K. BEALE* Matthew’s use of Hos 11:1 is a notoriously difficult and debated text: Joseph “was there [Egypt] until the death of Herod in ordEr that what had bEEn spokEn by the Lord through the prophet should bE fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.’”1 There are three problems with the way in which MatthEw usEs thE OT passagE from HosEa. The first is that the verse in Hosea is a mErE historical reflection, but Matthew clearly understands it as a dirEct prophEcy that is fulfillEd in Christ. ThE second problEm is that what Hosea attributEs to the nation Israel, Matthew attrib- utEs to thE individual JEsus. Third, thE Hos 11:1 refErEnce to Israel coming out of Egypt first introduces the holy family with Jesus EntEring into Egypt, and it is only later in Matt 2:21 that JEsus and his parEnts come out of Egypt. In view of these problems, thEre havE been a variety of responses. One com- mentator has said that this passage is “a parade example of the manner in which the NT uses thE OT,” especially in not being “interested in reproducing the meaning” of the OT texts but in reading into the OT foreign Christological presuppositions.2 Another commentator has said that this is “thE most troubling casE” of “NT exEgE- sis of thE OT” for many pEoplE.3 OthErs havE viEwEd thE usE of HosEa 11 as a mere mistaken interpretation by Matthew, somEhow viEwing Hos 11:1 as a prophE- cy when it was only a historical reflection on the original exodus.4 For example, M. -
