Hosea

Facts:

Hosea was a prophet of Israel who lived and prophesied about 750 years before the time of Christ.

His ministry lasted for many years through the reigns of several kings, such as Jeroboam, Zechariah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hoshea, Uzziah, and Hezekiah.
Hosea was told by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer and to continue to love her, even though she was unfaithful to him.
This was a picture of God's love for his unfaithful people, Israel.
Hosea prophesied against the people of Israel because of their sin, warning them to turn away from worshipping idols.
