A Biblico-Theological Approach to Hosea 1:2-9 and 3:1-5 on the Judgment and Mercy of God Towards Intertribal Reconciliation in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Hosea, the prophet of God, was instructed by God to symbolically prophesy to the erring people of Israel on the impending devastation awaiting them, if they did not return to him (God). The stages of this prophecy are aptly represented in the marriage of Hosea to an adulterous woman, Gomer. Thus, God, represented by Hosea, had a covenant with Israel but the latter left him for other gods, entrusting their care and protection into the hands of other nations. Enraged by this, God prophesied through Hosea, the punishment meant for Israel for her intransigence and also his mercy on them, if they returned to him. God’s judgment is not exclusive of his mercy. The above stated prophecy of Hosea to Israel is, in this write-up, situated in the Nigerian context especially, in the Nigerian tribal issues which are dragging the progress of the country to the mud. Thus, recognizing the method of analogia limpit,1 this write-up tries to represent the Hosea-Gomer event in Nigeria-tribes event and happenstances wherein Nigeria marries the three major tribes in dispute, whose ideological reconciliation with Nigeria (or the spirit of mother Africa) would earn the country a greater favour from God than the present malediction ravaging it
