Jehoshua is on the throne of David in New Jerusalem and He is the King of a New Israel
"reap the whirlwind" What does this phrase mean and how can we apply today to modern Christendom? Hosea 8:6-7 6 For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up. The context surrounding these two verses have to do with idolatry. This will help us understand what the phrase "sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind" means? The problem here is Israel's idolatry of the golden calf. Their idolatrous worship of the golden calf was Israel sowing to the wind as they were worshipping something that didn't exist. I will show this applies to moden Christendom and how it doesn't bode well for their future. Hosea 1:1 "Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he cometh against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law" This is a warning against the house of Israel (house of Jehovah). Hosea the prophet says that the enemies of Israel will come against them because they have transgressed the covenant and law of Jehovah God. This is Jehovah's doing i.e. to send judgment against Israel. What part of the covenant and law is Israel breaking? Verse 6 above says it all, idolatry! This idolatry was worshipping a calf as if it was JEHOVAH GOD. Note that they didn't think they were worshipping another god such as one of the gods of the other nations but they actually believed they were worshipping the God of Israel. Hosea 1:2-3 2 They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. 3 Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him. In the day of their calamity Israel will plead that they know God. Jehovah God will send the enemy after Israel as punishment for casting off that which is good. That which is good is the worship of Jehovah God as the only true God. Even though Israel thought they were worshipping Jehovah God by worshipping the calf the actual law of Jehovah forbids this type of worship. Exodus 20:3-6 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness [of any thing] that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, 6 and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. The first of the 10 commandments is to have no other gods before Jehovah God. This includes making a graven image and worshipping it as Jehovah God. We are not to bow ourselves before any image that is supposedly said to be Jehovah God nor any of the heathen gods. Jehovah God is a jealous God and visits iniquity upon those who violate his law. This is what ia going on in Hosea chapter 8. JEHOVAH'S loving kindness is only for those who keep His commandments. The above passage lists the first two commandments which are about worshipping JEHOVAH GOD. By worshipping a false god or worshipping Jehovah in a false way both of the first two commandments are being broken. This even applies to the third commandment: Exodus 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain" By worshipping the golden calf, Israel was taking JEHOVAH'S name in vain. Taking JEHOVAH'S name in vain is not about pronunciation but rather worshipping God in a false way. Knowing that Jehovah God is one the absolute most important commandment according to the Son of God Jehoshua (Mark 12:28-34). This commandment is called the shema: Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: 5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might" The most important commandment of the bible teaches that JEHOVAH God is one and that we are to love Him with all our heart, soul and strength. Hosea 8:4 "They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off" The children of Israel of the Northern Kingdom had constructed for themselves idol's of gold and silver. They worshipped these idols thinking they were worshipping JEHOVAH God. Hosea 8:5 "He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?" Samaria is a reference to the northern Kingdom of Israel as Samaria was it's capital. It was the sin of Jeroboam that made the calf an object of worship. Hosea 8:6 "For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces" JEHOVAH God destroyed Northern Israel's (Samaria) system of worship as they were uprooted from their land and taken to Assyria. Eventually JEHOVAH God will destroy every false form of worship done in His name no matter how long it takes. This is exactly what is going on with the trinity doctrine as Jehovah is raising up men to expose this doctrine as false and as idolatry. More and more believers in the Son of God are now rejecting the trinity. It is also noteworthy that mainstream Christianity has largely lost it's salt and has become irrelevant in a big way. Jehoshua Messiah is steadily removing the churches of Christendom's candlesticks because they refuse to repent of their trinitarian idolatry. Hosea 8:7 "For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up" Worshipping idols or worshipping an idol as Jehovah God is sowing to the wind and thereby is fruitless and will not reap anything good but to the contrary it will reap the whirlwind. Hosea 8:8-9 8 Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein none delighteth. 9 For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. When Israel (northern Kingdom) was dispersed among the nations and swallowed up in them. They lost their identity. They hired lovers meaning idols. They committed spiritual adultery by worshipping false gods. This is what is happening to the mainstream Christian Church as much of their influence in America has dissipated and what's left of the church is in huge apostasy. This is a judgment from Jehovah God as the mainstream church has refused to repent from the idolatry of the trinity doctrine. Hosea 8:10-12 10 Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes. 11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning. 12 I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing. The Northern kingdom of Israel was diminished as they continually hired lovers and multiplied idolatrous practices (altars) sinning in worshipping false gods. Israel was given Jehovah's law but they counted it as a strange thing. Israel thought it strange to worship only one God who is Jehovah, instead they worshipped multiple gods. This was a violation of the most important commandment which is the shema that Jehovah God is one. Modern Christianity has rejected Jehovah's law thereby the natural outgrowth is to reject the most important commandment of the bible which is that God is one. They had formed a golden calf of their own called the trinity doctrine. The law of Jehovah God is a strange thing to the modern church as they say it is bondage and accuse those who keep it as being unsaved. Hosea 8:13-14 13 As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Jehovah accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt. 14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof. Despite their attempts at worship, their evangelism and all the other ministry programs Jehovah God does not accept their worship. He will remember their iniquity and visit their sins upon their own head. Returning to Egypt is symbolic of going back to bondage and captivity. The churches of Christendom are in crisis as they have lost their salt. The Babylonian government of America is bullying them right now and the churches are bowing down to Caesar by closing down their churches, accepting sodomy and transgenderism. The churches have forgotten their maker who is Jehovah God. Throughout much of church history the churches acknowledged the Father as the head of Jehoshua even though they held to the trinity. However, in the last several decades the churches have increasingly replaced the Father and elevated Jehoshua above him. The Father has become an after thought for most trinitarian Christians. This is a direct result of the churches throwing out the law which has allowed them to continue in their idolatry of worshipping the trinity god and/or worshipping Jesus as the Almighty God and forgetting about the Father. The American church is beginning to suffer the same fate as Israel and Judah by having their candlesticks removed from their places. Scandal after scandal has seriously damaged the church's witness amongst unbelievers. Combine that with the churches celebrating sin and denigrating God,'s law and you have a recipe for disaster. However, this is Jehovah's doing as the church not only ignores the horrid sin in their camp but they strengthen the wicked Pastors that commit them. This sin is the love of money and the pride of life. All is not lost though as Jehovah God is raising up a remnant that will worship Him in spirit and in truth. ReplyForward
