I am working on finishing a series (13) of small group studies on the minor prophets. One of the things on my desk is Word on the Street by Rob Lacey -if you haven’t picked up a copy get one asap. But here is what he has for Hosea 1:2-3 (yes he is British and that is why he uses the word tart. If you are confused on the meaning check out www.urbandictionary.com)
When God starts using hosea as a courier, first thing he says is, ” Go find a tart, marry her, have kids with her. Why? ‘Cos Israel’s a tart- guilty as charged; walking out on our relationship and having lurid affairs with other gods.” So he arranges the wedding with Gomer Diblaimson and makes babies with her.
