As we pick up tonight in Hosea 4 we are going to see God calling out the nation ��� bringing charges against His people. We���re also going to see a lot of prophecy that is predictive in nature ��� telling the nation the specific consequences of their continued idolatry.

As we noted in the introduction and overview of the book ��� there is a lot of predictive prophecy in it. People often make the mistake of trying to find America in prophecy. We need to remember that the Old Testament is about Israel ��� not America. Having said that ��� we are in the Bible in the sense that we can see the WAYS OF GOD in dealing with mankind and dealing with His people.
