Abstract

The Name of the Prophet.

"The Word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri." Hosea is the name of the prophet= help, deliverance. It was Hosea (Oshea), the son of Nun, Num.13,8.16, who, true to his changed name Joshuah, placed his hope of salvation solely in Jehovah and pleaded with his people to follow him in his loyalty to the Lord, Josh. 24, 1-28. It was Hoshea, the last king of Israel, who, unlike his great namesake, sought salvation and deliverance from strange gods, from an alliance with Egypt, 2 Kings 17, 4 instead of making the Lord his help. It was Hosea, the prophet; who warned-alas! in vain - against seeking deliverance and help with the idols and pleaded-again in vain-with them to look for help to Jehovah alone.
