• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, April fifteen,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for today is Hoseiah's harlot Wife. That sounds insulting, Hosea's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: harlot wife. Well we'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

• 1:14

  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Bother in heaven. Thank you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for giving us this new day and for the opportunity
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to consider you and how much you love us. Thank
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you for giving us the kind of examples in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: scriptures that we can actually relate to. In Jesus' name,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I pray a men and a men again. Oh, this
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: study is really interesting to me, really interesting to me, because, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: sometimes we gloss over the fact that God loves us.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And I say gloss over because there's a lot that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we need to overcome in our lives. And yet God
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: loves us like he knows us perfectly and still loves us.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: He knows what's in our secret closets, you know what
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like if you open the door of your closet,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: there are skeletons that drop out of there. Yeah, he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: knows all of that and yet he still loves us,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm thankful. Now, if we go into the Bible
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: book of Hosea, we see an interesting story, and it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: not just interesting, it can be perplexing if we don't
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: understand the character of God. And the Bible reads in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: verse one, I mean, excuse me. In verse two of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Hoseiah chapter one, the beginning of the word of the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Lord to Hoseiah, the Lord's said, unto Hoseiah, go take
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: unto thee a wife of horedoms and children of hortems
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for the land committed great hortom, departing from the Lord.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And then in verse one of Hosea chapter three, the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Bible reads then said the Lord, unto me, go love
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a woman beloved of her friend. Let me go to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the net version, the Lord said to me, go show
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: love to your wife again. Go show love to your
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: wife again, even though she loves another man and continually
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: commits adultery. I wish I had the time to deal
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: with the reality of our experiences when one or the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: other spouse commits adultery. But we're talking about God and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: his perspective, his love toward his people. When his people
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: go astray, and so go show your love to your
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: wife again, even though she loves another man and continually
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: commits adultery. Likewise, the Lord loves the people of God,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: although they turned to other gods and love to offer
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: raisin cakes to idols, of course, and it's speaking of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: something in their context, but they were sacrificing to idols
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and false gods. And God is saying, I want you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to feel and sense the reality of what I go
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: through when I have to love you, my people. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: want you, Hoseiah, as a prophet to the nations, to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: be able to communicate keenly what it is like when
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: my people because of their lack of real connection with me,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: because they are trying to make up ways to be holy,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: when all I said was to believe, and I will
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: give you my laws in your hearts and on your
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: minds and cause you to live my commandments. But you're
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: making up new ways, and you're looking for other gods
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and putting them before me. Even though they are doing
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all of that, I still love them. I still love them.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: This is not permission to walk away from God. It
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is not permission to play the heart that. It is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not permission to forget our God. But Joseia, you as
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a prophet to the nations, I need you to be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: able to sense and feel some of what I go through. Now,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: there's something very interesting that happens in the Book of Revelation.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Though we still see God's people playing the harlot, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: there's a very different perspective here. And in verses one
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and two of Revelation, chapter seventeen, the Bible reads, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: there came one of the seven angels saying, unto me,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: of course, I'm leaving a few words out come hither
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I will show thee the judgment and of the great
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: horror that sitteth upon many waters. We're not going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: go into the detail of who the horror is, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: clearly it is God's people who have gone astray to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the extreme and refuse to repent. I'll leave it right there,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the false Church. I'll leave it right there for now.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says, of the judgment of the great
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: horror that sitteth upon many waters, with whom the kings
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of the earth have committed fornication, and the part of me,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the inhabitants of the earth, have been made drunk with
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the wine of her fornication. So not only has God's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: people in this have God's people in that context turned
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: away from God? Not only have God's people, if we
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: read more of it, try to replace God. The Harlot
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Church tried to replace God and remove Jesus from the throne,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: remove Jesus as the one mediator between God and man,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to seek to also change times in the law of God, etc.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But the Bible says that this Harlot, these people who
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: were of God, who turned away from God, who now
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: worship other Gods and themselves desire to be worshiped as
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: God in the place of God sitting in the Temple
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of God. The Bible says that they are going out
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to the world to cause the world to do the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: very same thing, to turn their backs on God. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: so the Bible is teaching us in those verses and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: also in Revelation chapter eighteen, verses one through four, that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: those who do turn away from Him, those who reject
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the love that we see in the Hoseah passage where
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: he in Ezekiel we talked about yesterday where he puts
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: us banner over us, which is love, and he has
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wooed us with the power of the Holy Ghost. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: even sometimes he has chastised us in order to correct us.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Those whom he loves, he rebukes, and he chased. Since
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the Bible says that there are some people who will
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: who will just turn and never come back to God.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: There are some people who, through their spiritual pride, will
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: become in their own mind worthy of worship. They will
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: cause people who don't worship them that they should die.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And it's like, whoa wait a minute, what went wrong here?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: How do we go from being God's people, the apple
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of his eye? How do we go from being covered
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in his righteousness? How do we go from being those
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that have been speaking to him and hearing from him,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: those who have been filled with His holy spirit and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: been the ones who who are assisting in the transformation
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of other people to becoming an ir, a person who
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is not able to come back to God. Well, the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Bible does teach us that there comes a point. Because
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: God is a perfect gentleman, there comes a point when,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: if God forbid his people continue to walk away from him,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: continue to choose other gods before him, continue to even
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: esteem ourselves as gods too, that he'll just accept, not
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: because he wants to, but he'll accept our decision He's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: not going to tie us up and put us in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the basement and try to force us to love him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You see. So God wanted Hoseiah to feel and sense
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the reality of what it takes for God to love
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: people who sometimes don't love him in return. But the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: outcome that God desires is that we will repent, that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: we will learn how to love God in return. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
