Hosea depicts the national demise of the House of Israel in terms of burial in the graveyard of Assyrian Captivity. Nevertheless, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the prophet looked forward to the day when they would be ransomed from the grave and live again in God’s sight.
Author Howard Rand explicates how the prophet provides a more comprehensive understanding of why God allowed Israel to be carried captive into Assyria than may be found anywhere else in the Scriptures.
