I am only posting a few verses because I probably should have posted this handful with the last grouping. Anyway, these verses are interesting, because they turn the last harsh nine verses on their head. This "section" also starts with the familiar words of God's promise to Abraham. If I could ask you one question, to answer after reading the first chapter (plus one verse) of Hosea, it would be: who is God?
"Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Children of the living God." The people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered together and they shall appoint for themselves one head; and they shall take possession of the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Say to your brother, Ammi, and to your sister, Ruhamah."
