Hosea 1:10. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea Though God casts off the ten tribes, yet he will, in due time, supply their loss, by bringing in great numbers of true Israelites into the church, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles, and making them, who before were strangers to the covenants of promise, fellow-heirs with the Jews, Romans 9:25-26; 1 Peter 2:10. “I think,” says Bishop Horsley, “this is to be understood of the mystical Israel;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:1-11

1:1-3:5 HOSEA’S FAMILY LIFE AND ITS LESSONSHosea, Gomer and their children (1:1-2:1)The prophet begins his book by outlining his experiences with his unfaithful wife, Gomer. Gomer was probably not a prostitute when Hosea was told to marry her. In recording the story, Hosea is looking back over the events that happened, recalling that the woman whom he married and who bore him children became a prostitute. Gomer’s unfaithfulness in leaving him for other men pictured Israel’s unfaithfulness in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 1:10

"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said of them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God."This is a definite promise and prophecy of the coming of the Gentiles into the favor of God, as indicated by Paul's quotation of this very passage in Romans 9:25, where he declared:"And it shall be, that in the place where it was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 1:10

Hosea 1:10. Yet the number, &c.— Though God casts off the ten tribes, yet he will in due time supply their loss by bringing in great numbers of true Israelites into the church, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles; and making them who before were strangers to the covenant of promise fellow-heirs with the Jews. The prophet plainly refers to the final restoration and admission of the Jews into the church of Christ. For these expressions are too magnificent to be understood of any... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 1:10

This verse begins chapter 2 in the Hebrew Bible. Despite the judgment promised, Yahweh revealed that the number of the Israelites would be as the sand of the sea (i.e., innumerable, cf. Genesis 22:17; Genesis 32:12). He also said that in the same place where they heard His word of rejection (Hosea 1:9) they would hear His word of acceptance, namely, in the land of Israel. They would again be sons of the living God. This family terminology points to the restoration of intimate covenant... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:1-11

Hosea's Marriage and its Lessons1. A general heading. Hosea 1:2-9. The prophet's marriage with Gomer, the birth of her three children, and the symbolical meaning attached to them. Hos 1:1 to Hosea 2:1. The future material and religious prosperity of the people.1. A general heading, perhaps the work of a late Judæan editor. Hosea 1-3 probably belong to the time of Jeroboam II; but it is extremely improbable that any of the prophecies belong to so late a date as the days of Hezekiah, when the... read more
