God used Hosea and Amos--one right after the other--to announce to the Northern Kingdom (Israel) that God's patience had at last ended and that the hour of decision had arrived. These prophets challenged Israelto repent now or face God's immediate judgment and endure pitiless conquest and plunderingat the hands of themerciless Assyrians. Both prophecies end withthe assurance of God's abiding love forHis people and His absolute pledge of their cleansing and restoration. Two biblical scholars encouragestudents to understand and be challenged by these biblical events that so closely parallel those ofour own times. Their simple, organized commentary will prove valuable to students at any level, individually or in a group.
