As I typed this passage into blogger, I wondered how it might translate into our culture today. This segment, at least, seems to be the "allegorical" part of the story. Marrying a whore is like Israel's instability. Israel depends on the fluctuation of kings and rulers, and as Israel becomes the Empire in charge, "she" tends to absorb the religious practices of other domains.
I thought I'd describe it, but instead, I'll ask a question. Considering our North American "Empire," who might God call us to marry or "partner" with? What would seem foolish to our culture, and yet on a smaller scale represent the values of our nation?
Just a thought. . .
