Good morning

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. Ephesians 3:17 NLT

My people are destroyed because they have no knowledge. You priests have refused to learn, so I will refuse to let you be priests for me. You have forgotten the law of your God, so I will forget your children. Hosea 4:6 ERV

Hosea was a prophet who was called by God to symbolically illustrate the message he was called to give the people of the northern Kingdom of Israel. Since these people were living lives of spiritual adultery by worshipping other gods, Hosea was called to illustrate that fact by marrying a prostitute who subsequently committed adultery. The goal was to give the people some knowledge about their true spiritual state; the goal was to warn them that they were being destroyed (by the Assyrians) because the fail to identify their condition and repent.

Have a great day.
