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.

Elijah #2

Prophecy of Second coming of Christ preceded by Elijah (Mal 4:1-6). Jesus read a prophecy concerning his earthly ministry in Nazareth (Isa 61:1-2a, Luk 4:16-29). Between Isaiah 61 verse 2a and 2b is the Church Age. Prophets who taught or wrote; Elijah was a prophet of prayer. (Jam 5:16-18). Elijah was a man of the word (1Ki 17:1-7); obedience (1Ki 17:8-16); prayer (1Ki 17:17-24). The will of God: where does God want me to be (1Ki 17:5-7); what does God what me to do? (1Ki 17:9); what is the motivation for my action? God sent Elijah to Zarephath because only there was a receptive woman (1Ki 17 8-16). We need to be willing to step out in faith; to believe God; then we'll see or experience God's grace and mercy (Isa 30:18). God removes the men with message from the country that rejects Him. Nations will be divided based on their attitude toward His word (Mat 25:31-46, Luk 12:42).

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
