Look at this mind-blowing passage: “And it
will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “that you will call Me
[Husband (Ishi)] and will no longer call Me [Master (Baali)]. For I will remove
the names of the [idols] from [your] mouth [your false sources from which you
seek to extract your need-supply— your flesh]” (Hosea 1:16-17). Once you give
up all of those false sources you’ll wonder why they ever held a higher place
than Christ. “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me
in righteousness and in justice, in lovingkindness and in compassion, and I
will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord” (Hosea
2:19-20). Folks, we are experiencing “that day” in line two of this paragraph.
Although this passage is yet future for Israel, it is reality for us. You have
been betrothed to Christ in righteousness and in justice, in lovingkindness and
in compassion, and faithfulness. Amazing. You are the precious, desirable
fiancée of the King of the universe.
