The book of Hosea is divided into two unequal sections: The first (Chapters 1–3) uses the relationship between Hosea and Gomer, to set the stage
for the second (Chapters 4–14), which deals with God’s complaint against Israel and the coming judgment. In the first, we have the faithful prophet and the faithless bride; in the second, we see the faithful God and faithless Israel.
The theme of the book is the loyal love of God for idolatrous Israel, and the power of His redemption and forgiveness to transform her into His beloved bride.

The Seven Churches #5
Rev 3:7-22. Suffering for trials and testing. God provides an open door and asks us to go through. Church of Philadelphia - The ideal church. Hour of trial - a time before the rapture of the church for refining and purifying God's people(believers). Rev 3:10; 1Th 5:9-10; 2Ti 3:1-9. Overcomer; Cowboy churches of today meet in barnes. Church of Laodicea - The lukewarm church. Fear equates to False Evidence Appearing Real.
