Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Hosea 8:7

DISCOURSE: 1164THE CONSEQUENCES OF SINHosea 8:7. They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.MISERY is attached to sin as its inevitable consequence. This connexion does not always appear to a superficial observer. On the contrary, transgression often seems productive of happiness; and obedience: to be a source of much affliction and trouble: but, whatever conclusions we may be led to draw from present appearances, we are sure that the wicked are not happy; nor have they any... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Hosea 8:12

DISCOURSE: 1165MEN’S DISREGARD OF THE GOSPELHosea 8:12. I have written to him the great things of my Law, but they were counted as a strange thing.GOD, in estimating the sins of men, takes into his consideration all the aggravations with which they are committed. For instance; the warnings which have been given us against sin, the judgments with which we have been visited on account of it, the mercies that have been vouchsafed to us in the midst of it, are all regarded by him as enhancing our... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Hosea 8:12

The Bible A Sermon (No. 15) Delivered on Sabbath Evening, March 18, 1855, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon At Exeter Hall, Strand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have written to him the great things of my law; but they were counted as a strange thing." Hosea 8:12 This is God's complaint against Ephraim. It is no mean proof of his goodness, that he stoops to rebuke his erring creatures; it is a great argument of his gracious disposition, that he... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hosea 8:1-14

Chapter 8Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law ( Hsa Hosea 8:1 ).So God again is giving His indictment against them. Number one, they have trespassed His covenant. Number two, they transgressed His law. God had established a covenant with the nation Israel. The covenant was the basis whereby God would be their God and would bless them. "Now if you do these things, I will be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 8:1-14

Hosea 8:1 . Set the trumpet to thy mouth. Give alarm, for the king of Assyria is coming; he is stretching his wings like an eagle to take the prey. Isaiah uses the same figure, in Isaiah 58:1. Against the house of the Lord, the temple in Jerusalem. After Samaria shall have fallen under his power, then Judea shall fall, because she also has utterly transgressed the covenant by idols. Hosea 8:4 . They have set up kings, but not by me, This refers to the later kings of the ten tribes,... read more

Hosea 8:1Set thy trumpet to thy mouth.The Gospel trumpet1. By sounding the Gospel trumpet the mind of God can alone be communicated to man. The voice of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost must be heard from the Scriptures. To the whole Christian priesthood the command is given, “Preach the Word.”2. It is the purpose that all shall hear and obey the Gospel trumpet. The silver trumpet of the wilderness was for the entire encampment. “Preach the Gospel to every creature.”3. In setting the trumpet to the... read more

Hosea 8:2My God, we know Thee.AgnosticismAn agnostic is not one who knows nothing, for some men who are embraced by this term are men of unusual mental attainments and ability. He is one who neither denies nor affirms. The term is applied to those who hold that there are matters pertaining to religion which we not only do not know, but have no means of knowing. An agnostic does not simply assert the incompleteness of human knowledge upon things Divine, but that real knowledge concerning such... read more

Hosea 8:3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.The chastening of them that forsake GodIn this short sentence we have at once the sin of Israel and his punishment. Consider the various ways in which Israel may be said to have “cast off the thing that is good.”I. By their murmurings. So long as they trusted God’s Word, they continued to walk safely. When they began to murmur, Amalek came upon them.II. By their idolatries. When God was arranging for their worship,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hosea 8:5

Hosea 8:5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cut thee off; or, Thy calf, O Samaria, hath kicked thee off.Kicking calvesThe words of the text have a quaint sound. They suggest a ludicrous figure. There is something ludicrous in the notion of a boy trying to drive a calf, and getting kicked by it. When you understand what the words mean, you will soon grow grave enough. Samaria was the centre and capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, as Jerusalem was the centre and capital of the southern kingdom of... read more

Hosea 8:6The workman made it; therefore it is not God.The religion of humanityHumanitarianism has become the creed of the earnest and thoughtful who have found for themselves the awful truth regarding their fellow-men in the depths, and with that ever pressing upon them, have forsaken all else to grapple with that evil and right that wrong. It has become the home of loving, aching hearts that have lost their God. It has also become the mere fad of many who put on charity as they do a garment... read more
