Hosea will tell us of the prophesy concerning this last generation of the
earthly flesh.

Hosea 1:1-11
1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of
Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to
Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms:
for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and
bare him a son.
4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause
to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in
the valley of Jezreel.
6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call
her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of
Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the
LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle,
by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will
not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in
the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall
be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered
together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of
the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. (KJV)

"The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to
Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms:
for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD."

FATHER is going to show us through Hosea (who is a type for YAHSHUA,
The Deliverer, The SAVIOR) what shall become of the children of Israel in this final generation of earthly flesh.

"Hosea"
1954 Howshea` (ho-shay'-ah);

Now, why does FATHER tell Hosea to "take unto thee a wife of whoredoms
and children of whoredoms"?
Father is using the term "wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms"
for 'idolatry'.

idolatry \-tre\ n, pl -tries 1 : the worship of a physical object as a god 2 : excessive
devotion idolatrous \-tres\ adj
(C) 1995 Zane Publishing, Inc. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (C) 1994 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated


FATHER commands that Hosea do this.
And, the way that FATHER brings HIS idolatrous children back into the Truth
is through YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, The Deliverer, The SAVIOR.
Yet, the bringing back of these people into YHVH'S Truth is not going to be
easy.

"So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and
bare him a son."

"Gomer"

1) to come to an end, to be no more

The use of the name "Diblaim" allows us to have more understanding of this
'generation of the fig tree'.
We can think of these 'two fig cakes' 'pressed together' as the 'children of the
tribe of Judah' and 'the Kenites, who pretend to be of Judah' as the government ruling over Israel (Jerusalem) in this time of the 'good and bad figs' generation.

"Diblaim"

KJV-- dwell with.

1691 Diblayim-
Diblaim = "two cakes";

"And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause

Jezreel
[JEZ reel] (God scatters)-- the name of two people, two cities, and a valley or
plain in the Old Testament:
1. A man of the tribe of Judah <1 Chr. 4:3>.
2. A symbolic name given by the prophet Hosea to his oldest son <Hos.
1:4>. The name Jezreel signified the great slaughter that God would bring on
the house of Jehu because of the violent acts which he had committed <2
Kings 9>.
3. A city in the hill country of Judah, near Jokdeam and Zanoah <Josh.
15:56>. Apparently David obtained one of his wives from this place <1 Sam.
25:43>. The site is probably present-day Khirbet Terrama on the Plain of
Dibleh.
4. A city in northern Israel, on the Plain of Jezreel about 90 kilometers (56
miles) north of Jerusalem. The city was in the territory of Issachar, but it
belonged to the tribe of Manasseh <Josh. 19:18>. It was between Megiddo
and Beth Shean <1 Kin. 4:12> and between Mount Carmel and Mount Gilboa.
The palace of King Ahab of Israel was situated in Jezreel. Here Jezebel and
all the others associated with Ahab's reign were assassinated by the
followers of Jehu <2 Kings 9--10>. The city of Jezreel has been identified
with modern Zer'in.
5. The Old Testament name of the entire valley that separates Samaria from
Galilee <Josh. 17:16>. Some authors now refer to the western part of this
valley as ESDRAELON (Greek for "Jezreel"), while the name Jezreel is
restricted to the eastern part of the valley.
The entire valley is the major corridor through the rugged Palestinian hills. It
was a crossroads of two major routes: one leading from the Mediterranean
Sea on the west to the Jordan River Valley on the east, the other leading
from Syria, Phoenicia, and Galilee in the north to the hill country of Judah
and to the land of Egypt on the south. Throughout history, the Valley of
Jezreel has been a major battlefield of nations.

"Jehu"
3058 Yehuw' (yay-hoo');
from 3068 and 193 l; Jehovah (is) He; Jehu, the name of five Israelites:
KJV-- Jehu.
3068 Yehovah (yeh-ho-vaw');
from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of
God:
KJV-- Jehovah, the Lord. Compare 3050, 3069.

b) nobles, wealthy men

Jehu
[JAY hoo] (the Lord is He)-- the name of five men in the Old Testament
1. A prophet who announced a message of doom against Baasha, king of Israel <1
Kin. 16:12>. Jehu also rebuked Jehoshaphat, king of Judah <2 Chr. 19:2>.
2. The 11th king of Israel <2 Chr. 22:7-9>. Jehu was anointed by Elisha the
prophet as king; he later overthrew Joram (Jehoram), King Ahab's son and
successor, and reigned for 28 years (841-813 B. C.). His corrupt leadership
weakened the nation. He is known for his violence against all members of
the "house of Ahab" as he established his rule throughout the nation.
At Jehu's command, Jezebel, the notorious wife of Ahab, was thrown out of
the window of the palace to her death, as prophesied by Elijah <1 Kin.
21:23>. Ahab's murder of Naboth and the subversion of the religion of Israel
had brought terrible vengeance, but more blood was to be shed by Jehu.
Next to feel the new king's wrath were the 70 sons of Ahab who lived in
Samaria <2 Kin. 10>. Jehu ordered them killed by the elders of Samaria.
Jehu's zeal extended even further, commanding the death of Ahab's
advisors and close acquaintances. This excessive violence led the prophet
Hosea to denounce Jehu's bloodthirstiness <Hos. 1:4>.
Jehu continued his slaughter against the family of Ahaziah, king of Judah <2
Kin. 10:12-14>. Then he made an alliance with Jehonadab, the chief of the
Rechabites, to destroy the followers of Baal. Jehu and Jehonadab plotted to
conduct a massive assembly in honor of Baal. After assuring the
Baal-worshipers of their sincerity and gathering them into the temple of
Baal, Jehu had them all killed <2 Kin. 10:18-28>. So complete was this
destruction that Baalism was wiped out in Israel, and the temple of Baal was
torn down and made into a garbage dump.
Although Jehu proclaimed his zeal for the Lord <2 Kin. 10:16>, he failed to
follow the Lord's will completely <2 Kin. 10:31>. He did not completely
eliminate worship of the golden calves at Dan and Bethel, and his
disobedience led to the conquest of many parts of Israel by the Syrians <2
Kin. 10:32-33>.
3. A son of Obed and a descendant of Hezron <1 Chr. 2:38>. Jehu was descended
from the family of Jerahmeel and the tribe of Judah.
4. A son of Joshibiah, of the tribe of Simeon <1 Chr. 4:35>.
5. A Benjamite of Anathoth <1 Chr. 12:3> who joined David's army at Ziklag.

What did FATHER say in verse 4?
"and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel"

Remember, we are looking at the prophesy for these end times.
The "kingdom of the house of Israel" is again in reference to the current
'Good and bad figs' government which is over Jerusalem (Israel).

With whose government/kingdom shall this 'Good and bad figs' government
be replaced?
With the government/religion (theocracy) of the spurious 'Jesus/God/King'.

Let us recall to memory the 'kingdoms' which have ruled over Israel.
#1. Babylon
#2. Medio-Persia
#3. Greece
#4. Rome
#5. Mohammedans (from 636 A.D. until 1948)
#6. Figs: Good and Bad
#7. Satan, the spurious Jesus/God/King's government


But, there is much more that still has need to occur in this generation before YHVH allows Satan's fallen angels to come in the sight of man, disguised as great people of old, wherein they will 'set-up' that government ("the Image") of the spurious 'Jesus/God/King'.

YHVH, Our FATHER, is not happy with HIS children, especially those of the
12 tribes of Israel, who are of this final generation. HIS children have fallen
away to evil, false doctrines and idolatrous religions and/or they have
forgotten HIM completely.

FATHER will be sending Satan and his fallen angels (the spurious theocracy)
as a part of HIS WRATH.
Satan is the 'Rod of Iron' which YHVH shall use to correct and chastise HIS
children.

"And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the
valley of Jezreel."

What is this "valley of Jezreel"?
The Old Testament name of the entire valley that separates Samaria from
Galilee <Josh. 17:16>. Some authors now refer to the western part of this
valley as ESDRAELON (Greek for "Jezreel"), while the name Jezreel is
restricted to the eastern part of the valley.
The entire valley is the major corridor through the rugged Palestinian hills. It
was a crossroads of two major routes: one leading from the Mediterranean
Sea on the west to the Jordan River Valley on the east, the other leading
from Syria, Phoenicia, and Galilee in the north to the hill country of Judah
and to the land of Egypt on the south. Throughout history, the Valley of
Jezreel has been a major battlefield of nations.
Also see Armageddon.
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Armageddon
[ar mah GED un] (mountain of Megiddo)-- the site of the final battle of this
age in which God intervenes to destroy the armies of Satan and to cast
Satan into the bottomless pit <Rev. 16:16; 20:1-3,7-10>. Scholars disagree
about the exact location of this place, but the most likely possibility is the
valley between Mount Carmel and the city of Jezreel. This valley (known as
the Valley of Jezreel and sometimes referred to as the Plain of Esdraelon)
was the crossroads of two ancient trade routes and thus was a strategic
military site. Armageddon is the Greek word for this area, which was the
scene of many ancient battles.
Because of this history, Megiddo became a symbol of the final conflict
between God and the forces of evil. According to the Book of Revelation, at
Armageddon "the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His [God's] wrath"
<Rev. 16:19> will be poured out, and the forces of evil will be overthrown
and destroyed.
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)


"And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the
valley of Jezreel"
The words "at that day" refers to a specific period of time. It is the season
wherein the spurious, fallen angels...Satan, and his spurious government/kingdom... shall be over all the world.


Ps 23:1-6
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. (KJV)


What is this "bow of Israel" which YHVH shall break at that time?

Gen 9:1-17
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the
earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth,
and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green
herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every
beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's
brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the
image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth,
and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after
you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle,
and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to
every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off
any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to
destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me
and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant
between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the
bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and
every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a
flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may
remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature
of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have
established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. (KJV)


Yet, FATHER will once again take Israel unto HIMSELF, after they have been
sufficiently chastised, and when they make their decision to return to YHVH.

Zech 2:1-13
1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring
line in his hand.
2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure
Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel
went out to meet him,
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall
be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle
therein:
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be
the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I
have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the
nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his
eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to
their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the
midst of thee, saith the LORD.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my
people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the
LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall
choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy
habitation. (KJV)


"And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call
her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of
Israel; but I will utterly take them away."

"Loruhamah"
3819 Lo' Ruchamah (lo roo-khaw-maw');
from 3808 and 7355; not pitied; Louchamah, the symbol. name of a daughter
of Hosea:

Note that "Israel" is spoken of in the feminine sense, as is the daughter
"Loruhamah".

"for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take
them away"
FATHER will set the house of Israel aside, until they have been sufficiently
chastised, and then make their decision to return to HIM.

"But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the
LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle,
by horses, nor by horsemen."

2) to be saved (in battle), to be victorious
b) (Hiphil)
1) to save, to deliver

3) to give victory to

It is not by anything that the people of the "house of Judah" can do that will
'save' them.
But, by YHVH'S Power, they shall be delivered, set free.

Why will YHVH have mercy upon the "house of Judah" and not upon the
"house of Israel"?
The "house of Israel" have had CHRIST as their SAVIOR...and yet, they have
continued in their idolatrous way.
The "house of Judah", because of the Kenites, have yet to really have the
unfettered opportunity to know The SAVIOR.

"Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son."

Now, let us recount the children born unto Hosea:

1. "Jezreel" --- "God will sow, God sows, God scatters"
Who are these people who are like unto "Jezreel"?

"And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause
to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel."

This speaks of YHVH'S chosen servants, HIS election, who are of this final
generation, and those of HIS servants who will have been killed for the
Name of CHRIST.

Rev 6:10-11
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled. (KJV)


2. "Loruhamah"--- (not pitied, no mercy, not loved)
Who are these people who are likened unto "Loruhamah"?

This speaks of the vast majority of the children of Israel. Like their
mother Gomer, they are not faithful unto their HUSBAND, The BRIDEGROOM,
YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, but will committed spiritual 'adultery' with the
spurious 'Jesus/God/King', Satan.

Gomer: "the unfaithful wife of the prophet Hosea; Hosea's relationship with
her was symbolic of God's relationship with wayward Israel"

Lo-Ruhamah
[low roo HAY muh] (not pitied)-- a daughter born to Gomer, the prophet
Hosea's wife <Hos. 1:6,8>; (not pitied, RSV). The name symbolized God's
anger and His rejection of the nation of Israel.
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary)(Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Side note:---
Ammi
[AM mih] (my people)-- the symbolic name which God told the prophet
Hosea to give to the people of Israel. This name was a sign of God's
forgiveness and acceptance of those who had wandered away from him
<Hos. 2:1,23>.
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Ruhammah
[roo HAH muh] (mercy is shown)-- a symbolic name given to Israel by the
prophet Hosea to indicate the return of God's mercy <Hos. 2:1>,
(KJV, NAS; mercy is shown, NKJV).
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Hosea 2:1
1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. (KJV)

Hosea 2:23
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her
that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my
people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. (KJV)

3. "Loammi" --- (not my people)

Lo-Ammi
[loe AM eye] (not my people)-- the symbolic name given by the prophet
Hosea to his second son <Hos. 1:9-10; 2:23> to symbolize God's rejection of
the nation of Israel <Rom. 9:25-26>.
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

These likened unto "Loammi" are also of Israel, but because this is given in
the masculine sense ("bare a son", "Call his name Loammi"), and the fact
that they have gone so far astray from YHVH, FATHER'S emotions are even
stronger.
As these, likened unto "Loammi", (a son), commit spiritual adultery with the
spurious 'Jesus/God/King', Satan, it is even more revolting.

Ps 22:16
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed
me: they pierced my hands and my feet. (KJV)

"dogs"
3611 keleb (keh'-leb);
from an unused root means. to yelp, or else to attack; a dog; hence (by
euphemism) a male prostitute:
KJV-- dog.

3611 keleb-
a dog
a) a dog (literal)
b) contempt or abasement (figurative)
c) used of pagan sacrifice
d) used of male cult prostitute (figurative)


"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in
the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall
be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then shall the children
of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint
themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall
be the day of Jezreel."

Who is this "one head" they shall "appoint themselves"?
YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST is the KING who they shall choose.
