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.

9-11 in Retrospect
Since 9/11 we have each had to grapple with questions we've never faced. The issues may be new to us, but are not in the record of history. Our country today is divided along many lines that are false. Circumspectly, 9/11 brings 10 spiritual lessons to light that should help us stay true (2Co 5:14-21, Act 17:30, Act 20:21, Act 26:20, Luk. 13:1-5, Mat. 23:23, 2Co. 4:4).
