Hošea 6

Studie

   

1 "Hajde, vratimo se Jahvi! On je razderao, on će nas iscijeliti: on je udario, on će nam poviti rane;

2 poslije dva dana oživit će nas, trećeg će nas dana podignuti i mi ćemo živjeti pred njim.

3 Težimo da upoznamo Jahvu: k'o zora pouzdan mu dolazak. On će nam doći poput dažda jesenskog, poput kiše proljetne što natapa zemlju."

4 Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Efrajime? Što za tebe mogu učiniti, Judo? K'o oblak jutarnji ljubav je vaša, k'o rana rosa koje nestaje.

5 Zato sam ih preko proroka sjekao i ubijao riječima usta svojih; al' sud će tvoj izaći k'o svjetlost.

6 Jer ljubav mi je mila, ne žrtve, poznavanje Boga, ne paljenice.

7 Al' oni su kod Adama prekršili Savez i ondje mene iznevjerili.

8 Gilead je grad zlikovački, pun krvavih tragova.

9 Družba je svećenička kao zasjeda razbojnička: ubijaju na šekemskom putu; odista, sramotu počinjaju!

10 Strahotu vidjeh u domu Izraelovu; Efrajim se ondje bludu odaje i skvrni se Izrael.

11 I tebi sam, Judo, žetvu odredio kad okrenem udes naroda svoga.

53. The following passages in the Word may be applied to these two states of this Church: Jehovah, after two days, will quicken us: on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before him.... Jehovah, His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain He shall water the earth (Hosea 6:2-3).

The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me.... He is as the light of the morning,... a morning without clouds (2 Sam. 23:3-4).

And in Moses:

My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My word shall distil as the dew, as the drops upon the grass, and as the small drops upon the herb: I will proclaim the name of Jehovah; ascribe ye greatness to our God. The Rock, whose work is perfect, all His ways are judgment, a God of faithfulness without perversity, just and right is He (Deut. 32:2, 3, 4).

From these passages, also, it may be confirmed that these two states of this Church were from our Lord, who is the "God of Israel" and the "Rock." That He is the "Rock," is clear from these words in Paul: The Rock was Christ (1 Cor. 10:4).
