Isaiah was a Hebrew prophet who was believed to have lived about 700

said to have found his calling as a prophet when he saw a vision in the
year of King Uzziah’s death. Isaiah prophesized the coming of the Messiah
Jesus Christ. He was believed to have written chapters 1-39 in The Book
of Isaiah with the balance of the book authored by several other prophets.

 HOSEA

BIOGRAPHY

PARENT: BEERI

WIFE: GOMER

NATIONALITY: ISRAELI

CALLED THE KING OF SAMARIA “OUR KING”

CONTRIBUTIONS
Hosea was written to demonstrate the steadfast or unfailing love of God for Israel
in spite of her continued unfaithfulness. Through Hosea’s marital experience, the
book shows us the heart of a loving and compassionate God who longs to bless
His people with the knowledge of Himself and all that knowing God intimately can
mean to man. In keeping with this purpose, the theme of Hosea is a strong
testimony against the Northern Kingdom because it had been unfaithful to its
covenant relationship with the Lord, as demonstrated in its widespread corruption
in moral life both publicly and privately. Thus, the prophet seeks to get his
countrymen to repent and return with contrite hearts to their patient and ever-
loving God. This is presented from the standpoint of Yahweh’s love to Israel as
His own dear children and as His covenant wife.
