Hosea is supposed to have been of the
Kingdom of Israel. He
lived and prophesied during a long period. The scope of his
predictions appears to be, to detect, reprove, and convince the
Jewish nation in general, and the Israelites in particular, of
their many sins, particularly their
Idolatry: the corrupt state
of the kingdom is also noticed. But he invites them to
Repentance, with promises of
Mercy, and
Gospel predictions of
the future restoration of the Israelites and of the Jews, and
their final
Conversion to Christianity.
