Is

have
forgotten the LORD?
Just as most of the prophecies in God's Word, in fact most of the Bible itself, was written and recorded for those "upon whom the ends of the world are come (1 Cor. 10:11)", we documented in our last study that the time of the prophecy of Hosea was also written and shifted to the last days, to these days when the children of Israel have become as numerous as the sand of the sea. And all that is really required to understand the simplicity of Hosea's messages is to understand to whom it is written. So if you understand the history of the migrations of the children of God, i.e. how the 10 northern tribes of Israel went over the Caucasus Mountains and settled in Europe and in the Isles of Great Britain and later in the Americas, then you will have no difficulty understanding the words of Hosea, for he speaks directly to the true House of Israel, i.e. to America and her sister Christian nations of the world.
We begin today's study where our Father is going to tell Hosea to give instructions, call them marching orders if you will, to those of this final generation who ARE His children, meaning those children He is the Father of and to whom He does show merci and grace. In other words, they are those children who are NOT spiritual harlots, meaning they are not steeped in idolatry but have come out of Babylon (confusion, Churchianity) and into the marvelous Light of His Truth.
Remember we discussed in our last study that one must learn to read God's Word carefully. Then notice that this instruction is NOT to the idolatrous children "Lo"-Ammi (not-my-people) and "Lo"-Ru-hamah (not-pitied). "Lo" in Hebrew means "not". Hosea is speaking to Ammi (my people) and Ru-hamah (pitied one).Hosea 2:1
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru-hamah.
The next verse will document the fact that these children are not "deceived" because they know that their mother, Gomer, i.e. idolatrous Israel (now say to yourself "America and the Christian nations"), is whoring around and they are instructed to plead with her to STOP IT!
If Jesus Christ is not her husband then with whom is she sleeping and who is it that she is embracing dear to her heart? Ever hear of the other Jesus Christ, the imposter, the one who is called in the Greek language "Instead-of-Jesus", anti-Christos?[2] Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Antichrist, who is not some pope or some world leader or some man born in the Middle East, etc., but is none other than that beautiful archangel Satan himself. He is really Gomer's lover and pimp who causes her to commit her fornications. Our Father is not happy about it, to say the least, and unless she repents she's in big trouble.anti, an-tee', Greek 473; a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to) :- for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.Christos, khris-tos', Greek 5547; from Greek 5548 (chrio); anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus :- Christ.
What is this parched and thirsty wilderness? Though the 10 tribed nation of Israel was in fact physically stripped naked and scattered, this refers to her "spiritual condition" today. Gomer (say out loud, "America and her sister Christian nations") has become a "dry land" (spiritually) and is even referred to in Ezekiel 37 as the Valley of Dry Bones. How did she become that way? Because of the great spiritual "famine" of these last days. Have you never read of it?Hosea 2:3
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Because of idolatry and the churches teaching the traditions of men instead of God's Word line by line, we have become a Valley of Dry bones, indeed, for the Truth is not in our people. They have thus become as harlots chasing after sensualities and materialism and worshipping a substitute god who is not their Father.Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Again, Gomer's children are the idolatrous children of Israel of these last days. God says He wasn't merciful on their ancestors and He will not be merciful on them, for they are a bunch of whores. By the way, whose child are you?Hosea 2:4
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
Remember also, Gomer is the daughter of Diblaim, "Double caked figs", i.e. Sensualities and Materialism which are a big part of her idolatry. Those who understand the Parable of the Fig Tree that Christ commanded us to learn in Mat. 24 and Mark 13, also know that it is the "bad figs", Jehonadab's relatives whom we have given our hand to and permitted to ride in our chariot, who have brought about the debt monetary and economic systems that our people follow after.Hosea 2:5
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Should you wish get a more detailed description of the harlotry and who these "lovers" are then read the 16th chapter of Ezekiel.
If our people wish to continue to be spiritual whores and worship the "idols" of sensuality and gold and silver (materialism) and follow after the idolatrous church traditions of men, i.e. play church instead of study His Word chapter by chapter and verse by verse, our Father will see to it that they are blinded and their table that they eat from becomes a "stone wall" preventing them from reaching their reward![6] Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
The apostle Paul made this very clear in the Book of Romans:
Lo-ammi and Lo-ruhamah of today, blinded by their idolatry, have not yet obtained salvation, but Ammi and Ruhamah have.Romans 11:7
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Most of our people are not watchmen in His Word and so they are fast asleep (spiritually) this very day. They not only do not know what is happening in the world and why it is happening, but their lover and "main squeeze", Instead-of-Jesus, will soon come and they will instantly embrace him as Lord. (It is not very spiritually healthy for a Christian to worship Satan, is it?) And later on when the true Bridegroom returns at the sound of the 7th Trump they will be stripped naked and exposed as whores and harlots.[8] (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.[9] And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
As it is written, it will a day of great shame.
Your garments are the Gospel Armor described in Ephesians 6. Such suit of armor cannot be purchased or bought at church. Because it is spiritual, it actually grows on those watchmen who eat from the table of the Lord, i.e. study His Word, and are doers of that Word.Rev. 16:15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
To the dismay of many "believers", salvation for most of Israel will not occur at the First Resurrection. No, MANY Christians must learn the hard way and "hit bottom" by discovering the sin of their harlotry/idolatry. Though they call themselves born-again Christians and they do many wonderful humanitarian works, they do not know that they are spiritual whores, because they are ignorant of His Word.Hosea 2:7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Just claiming to be a Christian doesn't "cut it" with Christ!
Lo-ammi and Lo-ruhamah aren't going to make it unless they repent.Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Make no mistake about it. These are our loved ones, our brother and sister Christians who go to church and prophesy and do wonderful works in Christ's name. They just do not know the Word of God, which means they do not really know Jesus Christ. Most don't even know their heritage past great grandpa much less the migrations of the tribes of Israel. They are those foolish virgins who do not have enough oil in their lamps to make it through the dark hour of the reign of antichrist. They will be the first woman taken in the field and will marry Instead-of-Jesus. It is only those who "endure unto the end", unto the return of Messiah, who shall be saved. Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Christ made it very clear in Mat. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, as the very first sign of the last days, that there would be MANY who would be deceived by those who claim to be Christian ministers, many of whom are quite deceived themselves. The ministers and preachers of America and her sister Christian nations have NOT built up an hedge of protection for our people in these last days preceding the Day of the Lord, Christ's return. In other words they have NOT taught the Word of God to our people.[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Consequently, our people have become a bunch of Biblical illiterates who listen to the lies, like fly-away rapture theories, of those who claim to be God's ministers. Have you ever read Ezekiel 13?
Sly and cunning creatures these preachers are in this desert, in this Valley of the Dry Bones (Ezk. 37) where famine and thirst have parched the land (Amos 8:11). They do not as Ammi and Ruhamah are instructed and plead the truth with Gomer. They do not as the watchman Ezekiel was told to prophesy the Word of God to those dry bones and breath the Spirit of Truth into them that they might come alive and live (eternally). No, the foxes would rather play church and perform ceremonies and pass the plate while the mood music plays.Ezekiel 13:4
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Our people will be slaughtered (spiritually) by the soon coming king of Babylon because they have no Gospel Armor on and in place to withstand the fiery darts of Satan (Eph. 6).[5] Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
This may offend some, but God simply does not tell these many deceivers of our people that someone out there in TV land has a bad back or a sore elbow. Sorry, that is hogwash. And God did not give Margaret MacDonald in the year 1830 in Glasgow Scotland the vision that Christ is going to return at any moment and take-away the church in some rapture before "antichristos" comes. And God does not promise you prosperity if you support these deceivers. Read the rest of Ezekiel 13 and understand how they give "false hope" to our people and whitewash the truth.[6] They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
Let us return to Hosea.
Gomer seems quite blinded to the fact that God has created everything, owns everything, and is in total control. All the gold and silver and corn and wine and blessings of this nation come from Him and He can take it all away as easily as He gave it.Hosea 2:8
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
The day of reckoning is soon upon us when this flesh age is called to a close and Babylon the Great comes tumbling down.Hosea 2:9
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
If you do not want to appear naked before the Lord and everyone else, then hearken to the words of the Lord and wake up and study and do His Word so you have some spiritual clothing on![10]And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Yes, our people live in prosperous times and overall they have it pretty good, don't they? Many even go to church on Sundays but they KNOWEST NOT that they are spiritually, wretchedly, miserably Poor, Blind, and stark Naked. What should they do? That's simple ... Listen to Christ! Get your treasure and spiritual clothing from HIM, His Word! Churches and men cannot give them to you!Rev. 3:17
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Again, it shall be a day of great shame for many when the true Bridegroom returns, because on that day the Party is Over![18]I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
You can chose to come out of idolatry now and partake of the greater rewards of the First Resurrection,or you wait until it is too late and our Father takes it all away. He just said the time is soon coming when He will cause her parties, her holidays, her religious days, her Easter celebrations and all her other traditions of men to STOP! Only that which is spiritual shall remain.Hosea 2:11
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
[12] And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Is there any doubt that our people have forgotten the LORD? Oh, they give lip service to Him and they call themselves Christians and they go to church and sing songs. But as it is written in Luke 12:34 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Thus one thing is for sure! The fact that our people are Biblically illiterate documents where their heart is NOT, and it is NOT in His Word else they would be spiritually rich and not poor and naked. Think about it![13]And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
This is how they have forgotten God. In other words, they have ignored His Word and have substituted everything else under the sun! Therefore, as it is graphically written, they are nothing but a bunch of whores. Yes, it is that bad, only worse! And as it is written in both the Old and the New Testaments, that day is soon coming when their spiritual lewdness and their whoredoms shall be revealed. It will not be pretty sight.Mark 7:6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
So "Wake Up" and do not be as the foolish virgins who fail to obtain spiritual "oil", the Spirit of Truth, from the Word of God. "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18)", for time is growing short.Ezekiel 23:35
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
