Prophet Pearls #34-Bemidbar
Hosea 2:1-22
May 21, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Hosea 2:1–22 (1:10–2:20 in English). It accompanies the Torah portion Bemidbar (Numbers 1:1–4:20).
The reading for this week is a blend of warnings of severe punishment and profound promises of the ultimate restoration of a beautiful and harmonious relationship between God and His people. Employing the metaphor of a rejected wife, God promises to espouse her forever. Whereas it was once said, “You are not my people,” they will be called “children of the living God.” Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions, here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

Keith, Nehemia,
In this weeks episode I had a bandage taken away. Every time I read Hosea I kept coming back to asking the question of why Hosea would stay with her instead of having her stoned for the Adultery. I could not clearly see the wonderful picture that is within the text. I’m not sure if my age would not allow it or the complete ability to not understand the time and true text and How it related to the Past, Present and Future. I began understanding more as I matured . I thank you both for the grammatical information, and I try to remember the pronunciation , and definition for the words of the week. Each word is like sweet honey on my tongue I thank you for helping me to dig deeper than anyone encouraged me to do. The greatest part of your teachings is the fact you give homework and encourage us to search out the truth individually, in Scriptures with Yehovah; not depending on what we hear from any man
