My People Are Destroyed!

My People Are Destroyed

Everyone (in the church) can probably recall and quote the verse from Hosea that starts out: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  But, how many of us know the context of this verse, or how the verse continues?  Without that, you miss the point God is trying to make.  Let's take a look:

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, You children of Israel, For the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, they break all restraint, with bloodshed upon bloodshed.  3 Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone who dwells there will waste away With the beasts of the field And the birds of the air; Even the fish of the sea will be taken away. 4 "Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest. 5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day; The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; And I will destroy your mother.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD!! = the TORAH of YHVH.

This is not rocket science.  The church has done away with God’s commandments, statutes, and judgments.  These make up the LAW of your God.  
Look at the history of God’s people.  When they forgot his Law and turned away to serve other gods and do their own ways, they suffered.  Only when they cried out to God for mercy and confessed that they had sinned against him did they get relief.  

When the Book of the Law was brought out and read to the people – several times in the past – they realized how they had sinned against Yehovah.  They beat their breasts in anguish because somehow this knowledge of His Ways had been forgotten!!!  

That is where the church of Jesus Christ is today.  You have forgotten the Way of Yehovah.  You ignore his commandments.  You violate his Sabbath.  You profane His Name by all your ways which do not line up with His Ways.  

You must repent.  The only way to do this is to get back to His Law.  Find His ways; His commandments; His Law; learn it and do it.  Hear what he says and OBEY.

**Do not forget however:  You now have the blood of Yeshua as the ONLY ATONEMENT for any of your sins.  You must confess your sins and turn from them, but receive the atoning sacrifice of Yeshua as payment for your sins.  If you do, God will forgive and take you back.  The LAW has always been the way to follow God.  Return to Him –to YEHOVAH.
