Hoseas 6

Studie

   

1 Kom, la oss vende om til Herren! For det er han som har sønderrevet, men han vil også læge oss; han slo, men han vil også forbinde oss.

2 Han vil gjøre oss levende efter to dager; på den tredje dag vil han opreise oss, og vi skal leve for hans åsyn.

3 Så la oss lære å kjenne Herren, la oss med iver søke å lære ham å kjenne! Hans opgang er så viss som morgenrøden, og han kommer til oss som regnet, som et vårregn som væter jorden.

4 Hvad skal jeg gjøre med dig, Efra'im? Hvad skal jeg gjøre med dig, Juda? For eders kjærlighet er som en morgensky, lik duggen som tidlig går bort.

5 Derfor har jeg hugget løs på dem ved profetene, drept dem ved min munns ord, og dommene over dig fór ut som et lyn.

6 For jeg har lyst til kjærlighet og ikke til slaktoffer, og til gudskunnskap mere enn til brennoffer.

7 Men de har brutt pakten, likesom Adam; der har de vært troløse mot mig.

8 Gilead er en by med ugjerningsmenn, full av blodspor.

9 Og lik en røverskare som lurer på folk, er hele presteflokken; de myrder på veien til Sikem; ja, skammelige ting har de gjort.

10 I Israels hus har jeg sett grufulle ting; der driver Efra'im hor, der er Israel blitt urent.

11 Også for dig, Juda, er det fastsatt en høst, når jeg gjør ende på mitt folks fangenskap.

290. It was called 'the mother of all living' from its faith in the Lord, who is Life itself. This too becomes clear from what has been shown already. There cannot possibly be more than one Life from which everyone's life derives, nor can life which really is life possibly exist unless it comes by way of faith in the Lord, who is Life. Neither can faith exist which has life within it unless it comes from Him, and so has Him within it. This is why in the Word the Lord is called the only Living, and the LIVING JEHOVAH, in Jeremiah 5:2; 12:16; 16:14-15; 23:7; Ezekiel 5:11; the One living forever, in Daniel 4:34; Revelation 4:10; 5:14; 10:6; in David, the fountain of life, Psalms 36:9; in Jeremiah, the fount of living waters, 17:13. Heaven which derives its life from Him is called 'the land of the living' in Isaiah 38:11; 53:8; Ezekiel 26:20; 32:23-27, 32; Psalms 27:13; 52:5; 142:5. And those who have faith in the Lord are called 'the living', as in David,

Who has kept our soul among the living. Psalms 66:9.

It is also said that those who have faith appear in the Book of Lives, Psalms 69:28, and in the Book of Life, Revelation 13:8; 17:8; 20:15. This also is why it is said of those who receive faith in Him that they are made alive, Hosea 6:2; Psalms 85:6. Conversely those who have no faith were in consequence called 'the dead', as also in Isaiah,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them and wiped them out. Isaiah 26:14.

This stands for people who are puffed up with self-love. 'Rising up means entering into life. They are also called 'the slain' 1 in Ezekiel 32:23-26, 28-31; and hell is called 'death' in Isaiah 25:8; 28:15. The Lord too refers to them as 'the dead' in Matthew 4:16; John 5:24; 8:21, 24, 51-52.
