Did God Annul His Promise? (Hosea 13:12-16)
/The Lord's people have lost their fight for the Lord. In fact, Hosea rebukes Israel for turning away from the Lord. They do not want to turn back to the Lord, but continue to plunge headfirst into their sin. They have failed to build the model and replica of heaven on earth. Now, the Lord comes against his people. Does this mean that the Lord is too weak to save? We find out that God really is gracious. He does not go back on his promise even as National Israel will be exiled from the land.
