Hosea 1 and 2 v 1 - Messed up Marriage

Straight off God asks Hosea to go marry an unfaithful woman and have unfaithful children because the people of the country have been unfaithful. This bit is basicalllllly the whole of Redeeming love. my commentary says that she may have been unfaithful before or after she married Hosea, there's loads of different things like she could have been a prostitute, or she took part in a sex cult thing, or she cheats on him after the marriage, we just don't know. but this was to show Hosea how hard it was to love someone who was an adulterous, and how hard it was for God to love Israel depsite them turning against them. But ofc, in ways they aren't comparable. Hosea's not God, but Hosea didn't have hundreds against him. God tells Hosea to have kids with this woman, who are adulterous, but this doesn't mean that they are prostitutes, it's cause their mum is. bit harsh tbh. it may have been other kids she's had as well as the kids she has with Hosea. 


He marries Gomer and she gets pregnant. God says to name the baby Jezreel. This means "God scatters" and God's going to punish the family of Jehu for the people they killed at Jezreel.God will put an end to the kingdom of Israel and break the army in the Valley of Jezreel. 


Gomer gets pregnant again and God says to call the baby Lo-Ruhamah which means "not loved" because God won't pity Israel anymore and he won't forgive him. He will save the people of Judah however and God will save them but not by war but through God. 


Gomer get's pregnant again and God calls this one Lo-Ammi because they are not his people and he is not their God. God then says there'll be loads of israelites, more than anyone can count. and although God says they arent his people, later on they'll be called children of the living God. Israel and Judah will join together and have one leader and they will be great.


I don't really know how to apply. I guess, trust God? Marry a prostitute if he asks? I don't know, i'll think a bit more about it later.
