Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people’, it shall be said to them, ‘Children of the living God.’ The people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head; and they shall take possession of the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel. (Hosea 1: 10-11)
The bow of Israel shall be broken at Jezreel, yet great shall be the day of Jezreel.
The people of Israel have forsaken God and God shall no longer be with them, yet they shall be called Children of the living God.
It is as if God had married a whore, yet the promise to Abraham will be fulfilled and descendents of Israel shall be beyond measure.
What is beyond redemption shall be redeemed. That which has been rejected will be embraced. That which is dead shall live.
Our logic, our justice, and our understanding does not limit the love of God.
Above is Hosea, Gomer, and the children from a medieval manuscript.
