Hosea 13

Studie

   

1 When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.

2 And now they have sinned more and more : and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves.

3 Therefore they shall be as a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

4 But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.

5 I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.

6 According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.

7 And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.

8 I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.

9 Destruction is thy own, 0 Israel: thy help is only in me.

10 Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Q Give me kings and princes.

11 I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.

12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.

13 The sorrows of a woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.

14 I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death : O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes.

15 Because he shall make a separation between brothers: s the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.

45. There Is One God, and the Lord Is That God

From the abundance of passages presented from the Word in the preceding section, it can be seen that the Lord is called Jehovah, the God of Israel and of Jacob, the Holy One of Israel, the Lord and God, as well as King, the Anointed, and David. And it can be seen from those passages — though so far as through a veil — that the Lord is God Himself, the origin and subject of the Word.

But even though people throughout the world know that there is one God, and no one possessed of sound reason denies it, it accordingly remains now to confirm it from the Word, and also that the Lord is that God.

[2] 1. That there is one God. This is confirmed by the following passages from the Word:

Jesus (said), “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. (Therefore) you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul....’ ” (Mark 12:29-30)

Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah! You shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.... (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

...one came to (Jesus) and said, “Good Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” (Jesus) said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One — God.” (Matthew 19:16-17)

...that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone are Jehovah. (Isaiah 37:20)

I am Jehovah, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.... ...that they may know from the rising of the sun and its setting that there is (no God) besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is no other. (Isaiah 45:5-6)

O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, who dwells between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. (Isaiah 37:16)

Is there a God besides Me? (And) a Rock? I know not one. (Isaiah 44:8)

...who is God, except Jehovah? And what rock is there, except our God? (Psalms 18:31)

[3] 2. That the Lord is that God. This is confirmed by the following passages from the Word:

“Surely God is in you, and there is no other, no other God.” Truly You are God, who are hidden, O God of Israel, the Savior! (Isaiah 45:14-15)

Have not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides Me, a just God, and there is no Savior besides Me. Look to Me to be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. (Isaiah 45:21-22)

I...am Jehovah, and besides Me there is no savior. (Isaiah 43:11)

I am Jehovah your God..., and you shall acknowledge no God but Me, and no savior but Me. (Hosea 13:4)

Thus said Jehovah, the King of Israel, and its Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: “I am the First and I am the Last, and besides Me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6)

...Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. God of the whole earth shall He be called. (Isaiah 54:5)

In that day...Jehovah shall become King over all the earth. In that day there shall be one Jehovah, and His name one. (Zechariah 14:8-9)

Because the Lord alone is the Savior and Redeemer, and because we are told that Jehovah is the Savior and Redeemer, and none but Him, it follows that the one God is no other than the Lord.
