God's Highway Project
We live in a broken world-a world full of broken people, broken families, broken communities. We are bombarded with hateful, manipulative social messaging and twisted social values. We are oppressed by abuse and bullying, violence, hate, and injustice. In the backwash of all that, we grapple with fear, despair, self-pity, shame, destructive anger, and withdrawal into silence-all of the reactions that come with feeling powerless to escape our situation. We are left with the challenge of where to find comfort and how to break free of our bondage.Israel was no different in the days of Isaiah. She was already suffering from brokenness as a nation because of her broken relationship with God, and it would take even more suffering under the oppressive hands of Babylonia before she would seek God's solution. God's Highway Project is an expositional study of the book of Isaiah, focusing on Isaiah 40-66. In these chapters, God models the process for comforting oppressed and struggling people through His work with Israel, beginning in the days of her exile in Babylonia. How God deals with her provides us with many vital insights and strategies for comforting broken people even in our own cultural context today. The process that He uses to move Israel from a place of brokenness and exile to healing and restoration in a kingdom is described as building a highway. It follows four basic highway-building steps needed for restoration: lifting up those in the valleys, tearing down exalted attitudes and coping defenses, straightening skewed values and goals, and smoothing out rough places by removing stumbling stones that prevent progress toward healing. A few examples of stumbling stones include fear, despair, anger, and shame, but there are more. Israel is our case study, and she is a worst-case scenario, which in itself is a comfort. If God can redeem and restore Israel, there is hope for us as well!
The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded (In Modern English)
First published in 1681, The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded Declared and Practically Improved is John Owen's thorough exposition of the believer's call to set their thoughts and affections on heavenly things. Drawing on Romans 8:6 ("To be spiritually minded is life and peace") and Colossians 3:2 ("Set your affection on things above"), Owen unmasks the stark contrast between minding the flesh and minding the Spirit, showing how spiritual mindedness brings true life and peace. This refreshed edition preserves Owen's complete original text while rendering the language into clear, modern English for twenty-first-century readers. Whether you seek to deepen your communion with God, cultivate a lasting passion for heavenly pursuits, or understand the practical outworking of spiritual renewal, this modern version delivers rigorous theology and actionable insight for every stage of the Christian journey.
Born Again
Only the radical transformation wrought by God in regeneration can impart spiritual life to the spiritually dead.In the pivotal chapter of John 3, Jesus instructs Nicodemus--and all of us--in the spiritual necessity of the new birth. Explaining the clear divide between true, saving faith and self-righteous religion, Jesus reveals that no amount of moral effort, religious knowledge, or personal achievement can bring a person into the kingdom of God. Unless sinners confess Christ's lordship, and repent of all sin, including the sin of trying to earn heaven, they cannot be saved.Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary, this book equips believers with transforming truth by unpacking John 3 verse by verse: Exposing the folly of works-based religionEmphasizing the necessity of the new birthExplaining the Holy Spirit's work of regenerationExhorting sinners to submit to Christ's lordshipThis powerful and life-giving chapter illuminates what it means to be born again to true faith in the living God.About the SeriesThe Great Chapters of the Bible series focuses on key portions of Scripture that establish the foundational truths of the Christian faith. John MacArthur methodically explains each verse of these monumental passages to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the life-transforming truth revealed in God's Word.

God's Master Plan
Experience God's study guide prophetically. This book is anointed by God to shine the light of prosperity upon His people. No longer will the church be in the dark concerning wealth within their congregation. I am under the divine order of God to explain this book and make it plain to those who receive a copy. Read it and apply it to the congregation and watch it work. Habakkuk 2:2 (CEB) says, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon a tablet so that a runner can read it." The ultimate goal is to inform leaders how to create wealth for every individual in the church until they reach a level of prosperity that will enrich the communities and change lives. There are too many people within the church that are trying to make ends meet, often surviving on government assistance. Meanwhile, large amounts of money surround them every Sunday. Besides the church leaders, the members hardly ever benefit from this cash flow, which to me is a major dysfunction that desperately needs a solution. God's Master Plan will catapult every individual into great wealth. I exclaim that there should no longer be any broke churches. Everyone should enjoy the American dream together. For such a time as this, there should be a revolutionary change in the churches, one where everyone will provide for one another. God really does speak to His people in one way or another. "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass" (Psalms 37:5 KJV). God's master plan will prevail.
Do You Hear God Talking I Do and So Can You
This collection of poetry and prose illustrates how the love, mercy, grace and forgiveness of God are alive.

The indescribable peace, joy, love assurance and understanding of His loving words in the Holy Bible have blessed author John Nicolazzo, as they can bless anyone who lets Jesus Christ into his or her heart. The thoughts and inspirations included in this collection seek to reveal the wisdom the Holy Spirit has provideds. They explore our relationships with the world and with God and how they interact. Along with the many insights included in Do You Hear God Talking? I Do And So Can You, Nicolazzo offers poems that he has written to further reveal his own relationship with God. As a born-again sinner, he deeply examines his connection with God and and his Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Magnitude of the Cross
What did the Lord mean when He said...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God? The answer might surprise you. Understanding Regeneration should be a priority for every Christian, and in understanding what it means to be Born Again the glory of Christ and the Work of the Cross is magnified in the heart of the Believer. As we set aside some popular misconceptions about what Scripture teaches concerning our Salvation, we begin to understand the harmony and consistency of God's Redemptive Plan and His will for our lives. There is joy awaiting those who have not yet come to understand the Magnitude of the Cross, and the benefits of New Covenant Relationship with God. For the New Christian, the Bible Student, and even for those hostile to the Word of God and Christ, now is the time to replace common misconceptions with what the Word of God teaches about Salvation in Christ.
The Battle For The Seed
"Once you know why, everything else makes sense."What were the people doing that was so evil in the days of Noah which caused God to send the flood? Was there a reason that God had favor on Noah and his family members and told them to build the ark and escape the coming judgment? In the novel: The Battle for The Seed, The lost history and the saved race, Chris and Guy Pagano help the reader re-live those ancient times and discover what was going on everywhere on earth.As a follow up to his first book: So Shall It Forever Be, The making of Satan, Pagano continues to weave biblical references from that period to recreate the culture and popular trends from that era that ushered in the worldwide catastrophe.Author Chris Pagano enjoys re-examining short biblical references and adding narration to those stories for the reader's appreciation.The author desires that this novel will add meaning to the sections in the Bible that readers generally skim over and try to get through. They hope that the readers will be like the Berean church and "search the Scriptures daily to see if those things were so," after reading The Battle for The Seed.

This ancient Christian text preserves Jesus's essential original words, including: The Sermon on the MountThe BeatitudesThe Lord's PrayerParablesAnd his counsel for a compassionate life The original of the Gospel Q was lost for 2,000 years, but for the past two centuries, historians and theologians have been digging through the many layers of the New Testament to uncover and reconstruct one of the most remarkable Gospels of the Bible.
Kingdom Government
The church is supposed to be on the forefront of innovation, leadership, and development in every nation on earth. That is what Jesus meant when He said we are the light of this world and salt of the earth. We are supposed to be the pioneers and sustainers of this planet but something tragic happened to the church over the past few centuries.When we stop being innovative and creative we become irrelevant to the society we live in. When we stop learning we stop growing and become unproductive.What God is doing in this age and time is this: Restore man to his original intent and purpose. Unless man is restored to his original purpose, nothing can be fixed on earth. That is what God is doing right now.Most believers walk around like neutered creatures that havelost touch with the reality of what is happening in their nation.They have a pie-in-the-sky mentality and are waiting to escape theearth instead of making an impact for God and His kingdom rightwhere they live.We blame the wicked for being wicked and doing the wickednessthey were born to do. It is the same as blaming a dog for barking.How does that help the dog or anyone else? Dogs are created to bark.The reason we blame everyone else for our problems is because wedo not know what we are created to do and feel dissatisfied andunfulfilled in our hearts.This book will help us catch up with what God is doing in the world and in the church.

The Healing Power of Boundaries
The Healing Power of Boundaries addresses one of the most misunderstood tensions in faith-based relationships: how to love deeply, forgive sincerely, and remain faithful-without losing yourself in the process.Written from both pastoral experience and personal journey, this book challenges the belief that endurance is always spiritual, silence is always submission, and forgiveness always requires unlimited access. With biblical clarity and compassionate wisdom, Dr. Jean H矇der Petit-Fr癡re reframes boundaries not as walls that divide, but as guardrails that protect love, truth, and dignity.Through Scripture, real-life examples, and thoughtful reflection, readers are guided to understand what boundaries are, why they are often resisted, how they are established and enforced, and what to do when they have been ignored or violated. Special attention is given to marriage, forgiveness, leadership, submission, cultural conditioning, and the misuse of theology that has left many believers exhausted rather than whole.This book does not weaken faith-it restores balance.It does not oppose love-it makes it sustainable.The Healing Power of Boundaries is an invitation to integrated living, where love and truth walk together, grace is paired with wisdom, and relationships become places of healing rather than loss.
Man's Wisdom or God's Wisdom
This book is written from a Biblical point of view. I am offering a common-sense understanding of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc.As a Christian, grounded in Scripture, I have a Biblical view of man. The Biblical view of man is in direct contrast to the world's view of a person.Prevailing thought from man's wisdom is that a person is the product of his or her environment, genetics, and/or brain chemistry. Once this is accepted, it is easy to conclude that a person is a victim of their circumstances and they are therefore not responsible or accountable for their behavior.In contrast, the Bible is clear that man is made in God's image possessing mind, emotion, and will. Biblically, we are held responsible and accountable for what we think, feel, say, and do. Man is not a victim, he or she is the product of the choices they make.In Man's Wisdom or God's Wisdom? I examine the validity of the biochemical approach to treat so-called mental disorders. I show the reason we have mental, emotional, and behavioral issues isn't complicated. The solution to these issues isn't complicated either.

Tract 10 - The Sign of Jonah
The question as to how long Christ remained in the tomb, and the day on which He was buried and resurrected, has been as widely discussed as any other Biblical subject. A number of theories have been advanced and doubtless much valuable time has been wasted; however, confusion upon the subject has not lessened, but rather increased.One of the chief reasons why confusion arises among Bible students is because they do not entirely depend on the Biblical expression of the words. They think themselves wiser than the prophets who were inspired with the Spirit of God, and thus wish to correct the words and meaning of the Holy Bible! Hence finite mortals have attempted to rectify and correct the Infinite One, whose wisdom, power, and vision is unsearchable! Though they know their interpretation of a text is not altogether in harmony with the whole tenor of the book and law, they see no injury, and fear not God. And when the fact is revealed they refuse to exchange error for truth because it contradicts their false theology. We invite the earnest attention of the reader upon this subject, and that he take notice of the wonderful harmony of the Scriptures and the great wisdom used in them.
Two Distinct Gospel Messages Of The New Testament
Dr. David Alan Greene published Two Distinct Gospel Messages Of The New Testament as his doctoral dissertation. It was originally titled "Using The Dispensational System of Theology Reveals A New Testament Chiasmus With Two Distinct Gospel Messages: One For Israel And One For The Body Of Christ." Yes, it was a long name, but it was published as an academic requirement. The dissertation came from the result of six years of research as the author pursued his Master of Biblical Studies and Ph.D. in Biblical Studies. He received his degrees from Evangelical Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida.The author began his research by questioning why there were so many denominations and interpretations of the Bible. He sought the answer. Most Bible readers are unaware that there are three predominant systems used by evangelicals. In this book, the author explains each system and applies them. It is like deciphering an encrypted message by using each system. The different results are astounding!Dr. Greene uses the KJV as his text and substantiates his commentary by providing biblical texts as proof for his position. He ends by saying that the reader should test the theories themself. Since he received his degrees, he has continually tested the dispensational system. Throughout the process, the test of truth did not fail. This approach was used to complete A Grace Expositional Commentary of the New Testament also published by GraceWord Publishing.
When Faith Meets Capacity
There is oil in your house-gifts, skills, ideas, and divine potential already placed within you. But oil alone never produced a miracle. In Scripture, the widow's breakthrough came only when she paired her faith with intentional capacity. When Faith Meets Capacity reveals the powerful Kingdom principle that miracles manifest when divine instruction meets human preparation.In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Jean H矇der Petit-Fr癡re unpacks the transformative journey of the widow in 2 Kings 4 and shows how the same divine pattern applies today. Many believers pray for overflow while living with vessels too small, too few, or unprepared to hold what God desires to pour. This book confronts that limitation and offers a clear path toward supernatural and sustainable increase.You will discover how to: Recognize the "oil" already in your lifeBreak the poverty and scarcity mindsets that block the increaseBuild systems, structures, and disciplines that attract abundanceBorrow wisdom, mentorship, and strategies without shame or fearPour faithfully until your God-given capacity is fullMonetize and steward your oil with integrity and excellenceExpand your life, mind, and environment so God can trust you with moreBlending profound revelation with practical instruction, Dr. Heder equips readers to transition from spiritual desire to strategic action. Whether you are a leader, entrepreneur, minister, or believer longing for more, this book will stretch your thinking, strengthen your foundations, and prepare you for the outpouring Heaven is ready to release.With prophetic insight and apostolic clarity, Dr. Heder demonstrates that God is not withholding increase; He is waiting for vessels. The question is not whether you have enough oil, but whether you have prepared enough capacity.This book will ignite your faith, enlarge your vision, and position you for miracles that last. Perfect for personal study, leadership development, or group teaching, When Faith Meets Capacity is more than a message-it is a blueprint for those ready to rise.Your next miracle is not waiting for more oil.It is waiting for more capacity.
Shadows Presenting the Tavneet
The title of the book is to show that it represents Shadows and patterns of Heavenly activities and thoughts. I spent nearly four year producing this work. My intent was to offer up theories and conclusions that are meant to solve so many issues in this field of study. I want to get behind the curtain, so to speak, on troubling Biblical understandings. My intent is to show that the realities are projecting themselves into our realm.

Returning to the Gospel
Christianity has rapidly increased across Africa, with much of this expansion taking place in Pentecostal expressions of the faith. With the growth of autonomous Pentecostal churches in Ghana, there is also the concern of leaders valuing material success over discipleship and spiritual formation. What can the epistle of Jude, which admonishes against the church's departure from biblical Christianity because of false teachings, offer to the concerns of Ghanaian Christianity?Weaving together biblical exegesis, social science, and field research, Dr. Emmanuel Kwasi Amoafo explores the theology and practices of the five leading autonomous Ghanian Pentecostal-Charismatic churches. Through an exegetical study of Jude, Dr. Amoafo identifies seven principles of biblical Christianity that can act as guidelines for a contextualized biblical Christianity in order that churches may be spiritually strengthened and more truly reflect the gospel. Jude's call to contend for the faith by upholding, preserving, and persevering in the seven principles remains incredibly relevant for the church today. This innovative work is an essential read for theologians and scholars interested in the Spirit-filled growth and development of African Christianity and its leaders.

Not even close.
Read and See Revelation 12 to 14
Having immersed himself over many years in reading every commentary he can find on Revelation, and picking up his teenage hobby of painting, Pieter Kwant reverses the process whereby John first "saw"Revelation before writing it down, here moving from (biblical) text to image.In Volume 4, Pieter continues to take his stand on the shoulders of both giant biblical commentators and visual artists over the centuries as he engages Revelation in a personal way. His hope, and the challengehe set himself, is that readers may be emboldened not to shrink from looking deeply into this concluding book of the Bible - reading and seeing, and hearing (by doing) it.
Hope and Healing in the Hebrew Bible
The Hebrew Bible is hard for modern Latter-day Saints to read and understand. Not only was it written thousands of years ago in a world foreign to the modernity we live in, but we also read it through two thousand years of accumulated Christian understanding and two hundred years of LDS understanding. But even if we can't read it as it was originally written, in Hope and Healing in the Hebrew Bible: What Ancient Texts Can Teach Modern Readers, Michael Huston shows us how to capture and understand the power and awe of the Hebrew Bible. After reading this book, I'm excited to reread the Bible. I have new tools for seeing the parts I'm familiar with with new eyes and finding value in the parts I'm less familiar with.-Sam Brunson, author of Between the Temple and the Tax Collector: The Intersection of Mormonism and the StateA gentle introduction to "Gentile" scholarship on the Old Testament for Latter-day Saints. While writing with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints clearly in mind, and frequently referencing sermons and writings by General Authorities, Michael Huston introduces readers to important scholars like Walter Brueggeman, Amy-Jill Levine, Marc Zvi Brettler, Michael Coogan, and Kate Bowler. This beautifully balanced approach succeeds in its aim of showing that reading the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible/Tanakh through multiple interpretive traditions deepens and enriches the ways that Latter-day Saint Christians can understand these writings. He reads some familiar sections-creation, exodus, David and Bathsheba-and some that we tend to skip over-Leviticus, the story of Huldah, the Psalms-in ways that both honor and challenge conventional LDS readings. This book will reinvigorate your Sunday School preparation or perhaps even teach you how to love the Old Testament for the first time!-Kristine Haglund, author of Eugene England: A Mormon LiberalThe Hebrew Bible is the lengthiest, most daunting, least studied, and least understood of all books in the Latter-day Saint canon. Hope and Healing in the Hebrew Bible demystifies this great scripture and invites us to consider it normatively, rather than defensively. That is, rather than use is to justify and defend Latter-day Saint doctrines formulated several millennia later, the author suggests that we accept it on its own terms and in its own context of time and place, without the clutter of LDS apologetics. Only when we cease to "Mormonize" the Hebrew Bible do we gain entr矇e into its most profound content. -Gregory A. Prince, author of David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism and Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History

Gospel of Luke
The Gospel of St. Luke has been described as "the loveliest book in the world." It was written by a Gentile for Gentiles, with the purpose of touching their hearts with the Good News of Christ. Luke speaks especially to the poor and the marginalized of society-including women-with an emphasis on joy, healing, and prayer. With his gift for making the fruits of biblical scholarship accessible to the ordinary layperson, Fr. Lawrence Farley expounds this beautiful account of the life and ministry of Christ for contemporary Christians.

Israel expected the Messiah to be a conquering hero who would liberate the Jews from their Roman servitude. But instead, Christ came as a suffering servant to liberate all mankind from slavery to sin. The Gospel of Mark records Christ's public ministry as a journey to the Cross, yet--paradoxically again--as a time of vigorous action when His miracles astounded the multitudes, and His boldness infuriated His foes.
The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John vigorously witnesses to Jesus, striving to persuade the hearts and minds of the undecided that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the only source of eternal life. St. John, as one of the Twelve and a witness to Christ's glory, sets his Gospel in a cosmic context, revealing Christ as the eternal Light of God, the Truth and voice of the Father, the divine Glory shining in the midst of men.

The Gospel of Matthew
The New Testament is a Jewish book, and no part of it is more Jewish than the Gospel of Matthew. It tells the story of how God fulfilled His word to Israel and sent them His Messiah, who in turn carried out the work of redemption. The Gospel of Matthew was written to prove to the Jews that Jesus of Nazareth is indeed the Christ, the fulfillment of their Scriptures. It contains the most thorough and organized presentation of Christ s teaching anywhere in Scripture. Thus the Gospel of Matthew is like the Christian Torah, the record of God's words and deeds through Christ. Matthew's Gospel also stresses the Church, since it is the true Israel, the holy remnant, whose message is to be taken to Jews (and Gentiles) everywhere.
The Fingerprint of God
The Fingerprint of God is a contemplative art book that invites readers to encounter the Creator through the beauty, order, and meaning of creation.Through a richly illustrated journey inspired by the Genesis creation account, Canadian artist Katherine van Kampen presents a series of original paintings that move from the vastness of the cosmos to the intimacy of God's relationship with humanity. Each artwork is paired with reflective prose and Scripture, drawing the reader into a deeper meditation on God's power, purpose, and presence in the world.Written in collaboration with Judy Funk, with an introduction by Pastor Dale Baldwin, this book encourages readers to look beyond scientific explanation and instead consider creation as God's "other book"-a visual and spiritual testimony of His character, attributes, and love.The Fingerprint of God is both a work of visual art and a devotional experience. It is designed for quiet reflection, worship, and thoughtful engagement, offering readers a renewed sense of wonder at the beauty of creation and the personal God who stands behind it.Ideal for readers interested in Christian faith, art inspired by Scripture, and books that bridge theology, beauty, and contemplation.
God, Sex and Women of the Bible
In a book that will forever change the way we interpret women of the Bible, Shoni Labowitz's long-awaited follow-up to her celebrated Miraculous Living explores the lives of eight key women and reveals their relevance today. With impressive scholarship, Labowitz makes a compelling case that, contrary to popular notion, these women were in fact passionate, confident and unashamed of their bodies. In the luminous and inspiring pages of God, Sex and Women of the Bible, these charismatic figures come magically alive as sexual beings and show their modern-day counterparts how to wed spirituality with passion. Mining language and history, Labowitz reinterprets the stories of eight biblical women, unveiling in the process truths and nuances that have been hidden by centuries of patriarchy. She paints vivid portraits of heroines and lesser-known women alike, presenting compelling evidence that they subscribed to a matriarchal goddess culture coexisting with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Moses. Within this rich framework, long-silenced voices speak out to reveal the conflicts and perplexities of their own lives -- helping us, in the process, to resolve our own issues. In these sensuously illuminating pages, you'll meet: LEAH: Plain and overlooked, she triumphs over injustices and creates a relationship with God that provides a model to help us overcome our own poor body images and discover the Divine within RACHEL: Leah's sister, who uncovers the mysteries of the moon goddess and menstruation, presents us with a new approach to rest and relaxation EVE: The first woman encourages us to invite God into our own sexuality and teaches us how to fully reveal ourselves to our partner JOCHEBED: A midwife and the mother of Moses, she shows us how to make motherhood a spiritual experience DEBORAH: The story of this Judge of Israel will inspire us to fearlessly reach new personal and professional heights, enabling us to enhance our families' lives MIRIAM: Moses' sister, a gutsy lady who follows her intuition, is the perfect guide to help us experience menopause with dignity and grace THE PROPHET'S WIDOW: This anonymous woman helps us to deal with the loss of loved ones UNNAMED WOMEN OF THE BIBLE: These unacknowledged figures explain how to cope with the devastation of hysterectomies NAOMI: In the most mature sexual stage of a woman's life, this queen of crones reveals her age-old secrets and teaches us how to be more confident and alluring Never preachy or exclusionary, Labowitz renders these stories accessible to women of all faiths, striking the perfect balance between textual commentary and practical application. Complementing the ancient wisdom gleaned from Hebrew texts with the voices of the women she has met, she shows us how to reclaim our own sexuality by revealing God's place in it. In God, Sex and Women of the Bible, we discover our own potential to be meaningful, holy and passionate -- not just once a week, but every day of our lives.
Satanism Fears in Evangelical Communities
In 2020, journalist Zack Stanton suggested that we are living in a golden age of conspiracy theories. Chief among these conspiracies is QAnon. Q, the anonymous originator of the conspiracy, claimed that a cabal of Satanic elites control the world's media and financial centers, while engaging in horrific acts of human sacrifice and child abuse. As the conspiracy continued to spread, it was revealed that evangelical Christians make up a significant portion of QAnon adherents. According to the Public Religion Research Institute, twenty-two percent of evangelical Christians subscribe to the conspiracy.Throughout history, tales of subversive organizations seeking to undermine social order and attack the faithful have haunted Chrtistendom
Tract 4 - The Latest News for "Mother"
"The Word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. The beginning of the Word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord. So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived and bare him a son. And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bare a son. Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not My people, and I will not be your God." Hos. 1:1-9. From the foregoing scriptures, it is seen that Hosea's wife and children were such in vision only, and were therefore entirely figurative; they were so named as to make a fitting analogy of His people-Judah and Israel. And being of "whoredoms," they fittingly prefigure the idolatrous state of His church.
