She’s been there, and she knows how isolating it can feel.

Having heard the LORD’s call to repentance, Hosea desires to lead the people back to their God. He calls them to return to the LORD in the certain faith that the LORD raises the dead and forgives sinners. Nonetheless, the people of Israel only display temporary repentance and hypocritical faith. Despite the preaching of the prophets and God’s available and abundant grace, the wickedness in Israel only continues to grow. Rev.

The LORD calls the leaders of His people to account. Although Israel does not know Him, He knows Israel and sees the prideful idolatry that infects both the northern and southern kingdoms.

Through Hosea, the LORD indicts His people for their lack of faithfulness, steadfast love, and knowledge of Him. The last of those three charges takes center stage first. The priests of Israel have failed to teach the people to know the LORD truly, and so the whole land suffers. The idolatry of Israel, led by the priests, has failed to fulfill any of their needs, even as the people foolishly worship pieces of wood. The LORD promises to hold His people accountable from the top to the bottom, for they have lived as stubborn animals. Such sharp words of Law come from the LORD’s mouth in order to wake us up from the stupor of our sin so that we might come in repentance and faith to the only source of salvation: Jesus Christ. Rev.

Hosea’s preaching takes a Gospel turn as the LORD promises to woo Israel anew as His bride. No longer will they call upon Him in idolatrous worship, but they will call upon Him as their Husband according to His holy name. In this wedding between God and His people, He invites them to dwell with Him as He once dwelt with Adam and Eve in Eden. The LORD’s command that Hosea bring back Gomer, despite her unfaithfulness, provides a living sermon of the LORD’s faithfulness even to His faithless people, finally brought to fulfillment in the work of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As Hosea preaches from his marriage to an adulterous woman, he speaks against the spiritual adultery Israel has committed against the LORD by their idolatry. Although the LORD was always the source of all Israel’s good gifts, they failed to realize this and foolishly looked to Baal for blessing. In response, the LORD promises that He will take such blessings away and make the Promised Land a wilderness.

The LORD called Hosea to preach to the northern kingdom, Israel, during times that were prosperous economically but horrific theologically. The first part of Hosea’s book centers on the LORD’s command for Hosea to marry a wife of whoredom, Gomer. Through Hosea’s marriage, the LORD provides a living sermon of the relationship between Himself and Israel. The names given to the three children of Hosea and Gomer all initially preach against the idolatry of Israel, and yet, the LORD will later turn the meanings of these names on their head to give His Gospel promises of His faithfulness.

These are not to be worshiped, but rather, they join together in worship to the Creator who continues to sustain them by His Word. The praise of the LORD continues on the earth among all earthly creatures, as they live according to the way He has made them to live.

Knowing the mercy of the LORD, who reigns as King over all creation, David sings the LORD’s praises and meditates on His blameless way. From that faith, David vows to reign with integrity of heart by looking to the LORD alone and rejecting the path of evil endorsed by the devil and the world. The slanderous, the arrogant, and the false have no place in David’s reign, regardless of their outward appearances. Instead, David looks with favor upon the faithful who share the true faith in the LORD.

Asaph knows that God is good to His people, and yet the prosperity of the wicked almost leads him to stumble from the faith. Even as he recognizes the wickedness of the arrogant, he sees that their riches increase, and he wonders if faith in the LORD is worth it. He holds his tongue from leading others astray and turns instead to the LORD’s saving presence in His sanctuary.

Psalm 67 leads us to pray that God would give His people the blessing given to Aaron for the purpose of making God’s salvation known among all nations. All peoples are called upon to praise the one true God who is the righteous Judge over all the earth. In His righteousness, He brings salvation so that the peoples praise Him for all His bounty, both physical and spiritual. All the ends of the earth can fear the LORD, knowing that He truly does fulfill His Word of blessing in Jesus Christ. Rev.

As David hid from Saul in a cave, he cried out to God confidently for mercy. Even before God answered his prayer, David knew that the LORD would show steadfast love and faithfulness to rescue him. Though David’s enemies surrounded him, the glory of God that is over all the earth gave David courage. He knew that his enemies would fall into their own trap, and so he praised God even before the danger had passed. Still today, Christians praise God in the presence of their enemies, knowing that in Jesus Christ, the victory over death cannot be taken away. Rev.

Psalm 50 begins with the LORD summoning His people before Him for a trial. He does not keep silence, but calls out so that His people will listen to Him. He acknowledges that they have made sacrifices continually, but they have done so without faith, as if God needed something from them. Instead, God calls His people to offer their sacrifices with thanksgiving, to keep their vows to Him with faith, and to pray to Him in their time of need. To those who ignore His Word entirely, God speaks with rebuke for their repentance before the day of judgment comes. To the one who hears His call in faith, the LORD promises to show His salvation.

Psalms 42 and 43 share a common refrain in which the psalmist recalls the comfort of the hope he has in God, his salvation, even in the midst of terrible turmoil. He thirsts to be with God, and yet, his enemies question where his God even is. He cries out to God who, at times, seems to have forgotten him. He prays that God would answer with light and truth and so bring him back to the altar of God. Through the ups and downs of this life, the psalmist’s focus—and ours—comes back over and over to the real hope that is found in the salvation of God. Rev.

Through use of an acrostic poem, David meditates on the reality that the LORD is faithful to His promises. Those who wait on Him have no need to worry over the wicked and their wickedness. When the righteous see the prosperity of the evil, falling into the same way of evil helps nothing; continued delight in the LORD who gives His children an eternal inheritance is the only answer. The wicked ultimately perish by their own devices, while the LORD establishes the steps of His people forever. Such patient trust in the LORD comes from the Word of God that dwells in the heart and on the lips of the righteous, and the LORD vindicates those who patiently trust in Him. Rev.

Zedekiah is the last king of Judah. During his wicked reign, the LORD fulfills His Word of sending Judah into exile. Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon finally loses patience with rebellious Judah and besieges Jerusalem. In 587 BC, his army destroys Jerusalem and the LORD’s temple. Zedekiah watches his sons die before he is blinded and carried off to exile and death. This is no historical accident; It is the LORD’s wrath against His people’s idolatry. Although Nebuchadnezzar sets up a governor over the land of Judah, the people still rebell against him and flee, ironically, to Egypt. Yet the LORD is not through with His promise, although the kingdom of Judah and the line of David seem entirely lost. Eventually, Jehoiachin, a Davidic heir, is released from prison in Babylon.

During the evil reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes up for a first time, taking captive Daniel and his friends. After Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar comes a second time. He not only loots the LORD’s house, but he also takes captive the best of the people of Judah, including Ezekiel and the Davidic king, Jehoiachin.

Although Josiah’s father and grandfather were wicked idolaters, Josiah’s thirty-one-year reign is characterized by more faithfulness than even his great-grandfather Hezekiah. When Josiah begins to repair the temple in the eighteenth year of his reign, the book of the Law is found and read. Rather than keeping the Word of God at arm’s length, Josiah realizes that repentance is needed immediately. He turns to the LORD, and the prophetess Huldah reveals that exile will come upon Judah after Josiah has died in peace.

Two more events round out the account of Hezekiah’s reign in Judah. When Hezekiah becomes sick and learns that he will die, the king does not react to the LORD’s Word with despair but with faithful prayer, calling upon the LORD to remember. The LORD’s answer through Isaiah is immediate, promising life from death for Hezekiah. The LORD graciously gives Hezekiah a sign that His Word is true, which Hezekiah receives in faith rather than unbelief like his father Ahaz. When Babylonian envoys come to Hezekiah, however, he receives them as a potential military ally, as his father Ahaz had once wrongly trusted in Assyria. When Hezekiah hears of the LORD’s coming judgment, he responds with indifference. Hezekiah was a faithful king, to be sure, but even he needed the Savior who would be born from his line, Jesus. Rev.

King Hezekiah reacts to the Assyrian threat with faith in the LORD as Hezekiah goes directly to the LORD in the temple and sends for the prophet Isaiah. The LORD responds with a promise to Hezekiah through the prophet, even as Assyria counters with lies and taunts of its own. When Hezekiah receives a letter from the Assyrian king, Hezekiah lays the letter before the LORD in the temple in prayer, and the LORD again answers through the prophet Isaiah with words that promise deliverance for Judah in Hezekiah’s days and deliverance for all people through the Christ to come. The LORD makes good on His promise by slaying the entire Assyrian army and bringing about the death of the Assyrian king in the temple of his worthless idol. Rev.

The reign of Hezekiah is a breath of fresh air after the wickedness of his father Ahaz. In faithfulness to the LORD alone, Hezekiah works to root out all sorts of idolatry in Judah. Hezekiah reigns over Judah during the destruction of Samaria, and the Assyrian threat comes against Judah next. The tribute Judah pays isn’t enough to keep Assyria away, and Assyrian officials come to threaten Jerusalem. The Rabshakeh’s speech taunts not only Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem, but ultimately mocks the one true God. Where Ahaz did not trust the LORD to deliver, Hezekiah will. Rev.

During the reign of Ahaz in Judah, Hoshea comes to the throne of Israel, and he is the last king to reign in the northern kingdom. About the year 722 BC, the Assyrian Empire besieges Samaria and conquers Israel. The Scripture makes plain that this was no matter of historical accident, but rather, the LORD was bringing about His judgment against Israel for their idolatry which had characterized Israel from the days of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Judah too walked in these ways, but their destruction was yet to come. After Assyria conquered Israel, they moved some Israelites to other parts of their empire and moved other conquered people into Israel. The resulting conglomeration of people and religions provides the background for the enmity between Judeans and Samaritans in the New Testament. Rev.

The reign of King Ahaz in Judah is filled with the same wickedness that has characterized the northern kingdom, even the abominable practice of child sacrifice. When Ahaz is faced with the threat of an alliance against him, he chooses to make himself a son of the king of Assyria rather than trust in the promise made by the LORD through the prophet Isaiah. As part of appeasing the Assyrian king, Ahaz tours the pagan temple in Damascus and instructs the high priest in Jerusalem to remodel the LORD’s temple accordingly. Ahaz keeps the LORD’s altar off to the side, in case of an emergency, but his gesture is hollow. God be praised that the reign of Ahaz’s son Hezekiah is faithful. Rev.

Leading up to the significant and wicked reign of King Ahaz of Judah, the kings who reigned in Judah and Israel receive relatively little attention. In Judah, Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and Jotham are both faithful to the LORD, even though neither removes the high places from Judah. In Israel, the dynasty of kings in the line of Jehu comes to an end after four generations, according to the Word of the LORD. From one king to the next, the idolatry of Jeroboam son of Nebat continues. As Assyria becomes the world superpower, the northern kingdom begins to suffer greatly, the beginning of their end, even as the LORD provides for the faithful preaching of Isaiah in Judah during these dark days.

The history of God’s people continues with the reign of Amaziah in Judah and Jeroboam II in Israel. When Amaziah secures the throne in Judah, he follows the LORD’s Word in dealing with the conspiracy that ended his father’s life. As Amaziah finds some military success during his reign, he foolishly picks a fight with the king of Israel, and the king of Israel takes Amaziah captive and plunders Jerusalem. During these days in Israel, Jeroboam II is given success in expanding the borders of Israel, even as he continues in the idolatry of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Rev.
