John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Hosea 1:10

1:10 Yet the number of the {m} children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.(m) Because they thought that God could not have been true in his promise unless he had preserved them, he declares that though they were destroyed, yet the true Israelites who are the sons of the promise,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:1-11

THE SWEEP OF THE BOOK It will be seen by the opening verse of this lesson that we are back in the land of Israel before the Babylonian captivity. Examine 2 Kings 14-20 and the corresponding chapters in 2 Chronicles for the history of this period, and the more carefully you read those chapters the more interested you will be in Hosea, and the more you will get out of it. While four of the kings named in Hosea 1:1 reigned in Judah, and only the last-named, Jeroboam, in Israel,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 1:1-11

The Ministry of Sorrow Hosea 1:0 A wonderful book is this prophecy of Hosea [b.c. 800-725]. The man himself at once attracts our sympathy and regard by his personal sufferings. There is no teacher of divine truth to be compared for one moment for excellence so deep and great as trouble. You can learn but little in the schools. Information, except for temporary purposes, is worthless. Well-informed men, if they be nothing more, are oftentimes hindrances and discouragements to those who, not... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 1:8-11

We have here a further illustration of the doctrine. Israel had forfeited all pretensions to their covenant interest in Jehovah; and if it be preserved, it is not because of their deservings, but on account of the divine mercy. And how sweet and full are the promises that follow. And that they are all founded in Christ, the smallest attention to the Gospel will confirm. The Holy Ghost, as if that no mistakes might arise on that ground, appointed two of his servants to tell the Church as much.... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 1:10

The number, &c., viz., of the true Israelites, the children of the Church of Christ. (Challoner) --- This is the primary sense, Romans ix. 25. Yet the Israelites are here also assured of their return from captivity. (Calmet) --- God. Among many sinners, some are chosen. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 1:8-11

8-11 The rejection of Israel for a time, is signified by the name of another child: call him Lo-ammi, "not my people." The Lord disowns all relation to them. We love him, because he first loved us; but our being cast out of covenant, is owing to ourselves and our folly. Mercy is remembered in the midst of wrath; the rejection, as it shall not be total, so it shall not be final. The same hand that wounded, is stretched forth to heal. Very precious promises are here given concerning the Israel of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 1:10-11

The Acceptance of the True Israel v. 10. Yet the number of the children of Israel, the spiritual Israel in Messianic times, shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered, Cf Genesis 22:17; Genesis 32:13; and it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people, namely, in the center of the Lord's worship in the midst of His visible Church, wherever He would establish His congregations in the Messianic era, there it shall be said... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 1:1-11

God Gathers the Outcast Hosea 1:1-11 The story of Hosea is a pathetic one. He felt impressed that it was his duty to take as wife one whose earlier life had been unchaste. From this marriage resulted three children, the names of whom are terribly significant. They are as follows:- God will scatter; Not an object of favor ; and Once my people, but not so now . Here is the history of many a soul. In spite of all God’s tender love, we may wander from Him into the path of sin. The chapter... read more
