Hosea 12
August 24, 2006
*Intro:* Row VS Wade, Furman VS Georgia, Regena VS Dudley &
Stephens.
*A- Three well known, landmark law cases that had an*
* impact upon future generations.*
*#1- Row VS Wade = *the decision that caused the death of 44
million unborn babies (to date).
*Psalm 139:16, *Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When /as yet there were/ none of them.
*#2- Furman VS **Georgia** = *Rendered the death penalty
unconstitutional because it was determined to be cruel and
unusual punishment.
*Exodus 21:12, *“He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.
*#3- Regena VS Dudley & Stephens = *The landmark legal case
that determined if it was legal for shipwrecked men to kill
another and eat one another.
*Ezekiel **5:10**, *Therefore fathers shall eat /their/ sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.
1- The case we have before us is LORD GOD of the
UNIVERSE VS Israel with Judah as an interested
party.
a- This case we’ll be looking at in Chapter 12
draws heavily from a previous case that set
precedent years before.
- That would be the famous LORD GOD of the
UNIVERSE VS Jacob.
~* *Both cases that* we (CCO, U.S.)
* *would do well to head, as, precedent
has been set.
*Romans 15:4, *For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
*> What we need to see is that man has preformed religious practices throughout the bible BUT God has demanded that we take heed of His heart.*
* A- Again it comes down to man confusing efforts with *
* results thinking we are persuading God in our favor.*
* *1- *What I mean is:* We’ll work hard at religion hoping God
will bless what we’re doing BUT never doing what He’ll
bless.
*Psalm 51:16-17, *For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give /it;/ You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God /are/ a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.
a- *Are we:* Running a Religion VS Building a Bond
with our personal Savior.
*Read Galatians 6:7-10*
* **Israel** = *Running a religion, Building Baal.
*> So here in Chapter 12 we’ll see God towards **Israel**:*
*#1- Criticizing their actions*
*#2- Counseling the accused *
*#3- Pronounces Consequences upon the accountable *
* A- All based upon the precedent set in that landmark case *
* of God VS Jacob.
*(P.S. God won, always does)
* *1- *WHY JACOB:* Although Israel is the offspring of
Abraham He is making a point by using Jacob as the
example.
a- If you recall Israel is divided in two:
- The northern kingdom = Israel 10 tribes.
- The southern kingdom = Judah & Benjamin.
~* BUT regardless where you dwell you
still have the nature of the father of the
~* *The father of the 12* = Jacob.
*#1- A Critique of **Israel**’s actions*
*Read Verses 1-3*
* A- It’s as if God has sat down 2 brothers **Israel** and **Judah*
* and is scolding them.*
* 1- 1st brother **Israel**: *The current worse of the 2.
*Read Verse 1*
a- The issue is idolatry as we know.
- “Feed on the wind”
~* This is to feed on nothing to your
Spiritual detriment.
*John 6:57-58, *As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead.
He who eats this bread will live forever.”
b- To feed on anything or anyone else is to starve.
- Worshipping the Lord VS rock concert.
- Communion VS Friendship w~/world.
- Baptism VS Immersion in a job.
- Married to the Lord VS marries to an idol
*Jeremiah 2:26-28*
* 2- And just as *Jacob deceived Esau* so* Israel is
deceiving Judah*.*
*Read Verse 2*
*Genesis 25:26, *Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob.
...
* *a- Really the charge against Israel is feeding into
one’s perversity to stumble.
- I could give 5 Spiritual sermons and those
here could go from a 5 to a 6 on the Spiritual
scale.
- I could give 5 Sinful sermons and those here
could go from a 6 to a 1 on the Spiritual
scale.
~* You’ll stand before God for what
you’ve done (Judah V:2)
~* BUT I’ll also be held accountable for
what I’ve done to influence you (Israel
V:1)
* - The responsibility of parents *
*Mark 9:42, *“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
*Read Verse 3*
* A- Two things:*
* *#1- “by the heel” = Heel catcher = Jacob.
a- Kicking someone’s foot from behind.
