Contents: Jehovah's response, continued. His tender love for Israel.

Characters: God.

Conclusion: Though men who have had relationship with God are ripe for ruin because of following their own counsels, instead of God's, God is slow to anger, loth to abandon them, longing to draw them with the cords of His love.

Key Word: Jehovah's love, Hosea 11:1; Hosea 11:4; Hosea 11:8.

Strong Verses: Hosea 11:3; Hosea 11:4; Hosea 11:8; Hosea 11:9.

Striking Facts: Hosea 11:1. These words have a double aspect, being applied to Christ (Matthew 2:15). They speak historically of the calling of Israel out of Egypt, and prophetically of the bringing of Christ from Egypt, the former being a type of the latter. Christ's calling out of Egypt is likewise a figure of the calling of all who are His out of spiritual slavery.
