A Prophet the Whore and Children bring to the forefront a major prophecy given to Hosea. It concerns both houses of Israel. Both houses underwent judgment. Only Judah was delivered from her captors after seventy years and returned to the Land. We find the scope of Gods judgment, Mercy, Deliverance, and Restoration here. There are clear lessons and something that not only Israel should know, but all Gentiles as well. Meanwhile in a future world where the modern age rejects biblical values; God is at work. Thus, it is true here. Those things revealed in this scripture pertain not just to Hosea’s day but also serve as a staunch warning to America and the nations.
“A Journey for those who investigate the Whirlwind of these Last Days! Bearing the Cross in the War of Ages where Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World.”
“By God’s grace, we endure from faith to faith; day to day and pass by from trouble to endurance to an overcomer!”

A Prophet the Whore and Children
Hosea is instructed to marry a special kind of woman. One who would perfectly reveal the state of the House of Israel, the northern kingdom. Here we find two particularly defining opening statements. The first phrase in 1:1 “the word of the LORD” reveals the independent statement and time placed there. This is compared with Hosea 1:2 where again we find the phrase the “beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea”! Verse two reveals the beginning of the prophecy given to Hosea. The timing and the message are important here because of the first son and the bloodguilt that lay upon the House of Israel. But the two statements are found in verse one and verse two stating “word of the LORD” are important. That phrase is repeated twice in the opening portion of Hosea’s message. It is a prophetic flag that means you must pay attention. Let every word be verified by two or three witnesses the torah says. Here the phrase is repeated twice and serves as a warning and a witness that what is about to be spoken is particularly important and should not be shrugged off!
Make sure you understand that this prophetic message also serves as a warning to America and the nations. It is especially poignant to America since this nation has gone whoring away from the original God and His son the Savior Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach. It should also be noted that the name Hosea means deliverer. It is also connected to a future deliverer and savior; the Son of God who is to come.
The Whore and the First Son Jezreel
Hosea instructed to take a wife of whoredoms, does so. This woman and her children represent the fruit of the House of Israel in departing from the Lord God. Here His wife is Gomer. The word Gomer is first mentioned in Genesis 10:2-3 as one of the sons of Japeth, who is one of the sons of Noah who populated the earth. We do not hear much about Gomer from this point on. Gomer in Hosea’s day is a Hebrewess and the name itself means completion. The point and picture are of a woman perfected in her sin of whoredom. That which represented the House of Israel and the purpose for which Hosea was to take her to wife and bare him children. It is interesting to note here that Gomer was the daughter of Diblaim, a name meaning two cakes. Her family native of Northern Israel. By this point in time, due to the sin of Solomon turning from the Lord God; the nation of Israel had been split into two main houses. Here in Hosea these two houses are both in the prophecy. Northern Israel consisting of ten tribes and Southern Israel or Judah who also had the tribe of Benjamin. We also associate the Levites who had no inheritance [except the Lord] and were connected to the Temple in Judah.
It was Jeroboam [son of Joash] that the LORD God had given charge to rule over the ten tribes known as the House of Israel. Due to Solomon’s sin God sent the Prophet Ahijah who caught Jeroboam outside the city of Jerusalem. This is found in 1st Kings 11:29-38 and the Prophet described the split of the House of Israel into two separate kingdoms for their sins. God warned Jeroboam in verse thirty-eight of this chapter that if Jeroboam would do all God says and walk in his ways then God would bless and reward him. Thus, the kingdom split into two houses. Both houses ended up facing Gods judgment over their apostate condition. The Northern Kingdom was destroyed for their sins. Judah later also became apostate. However, the Kingdom would be afflicted for their sins but not forever. This includes captivity in Babylon for Seventy years. Here we find Judgment and mercy leading to restoration in Judah. In the Northern Kingdom, since Jeroboam sinned, the kingdom became apostate with much turmoil and internal wars. The kingdom had no peace and certainly no favor of God. It is here that we find Hosea, Amos, and Jonah all gave prophecies concerning this kingdom.
Jezreel: God will Sow; will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel
In addition, we find that as Hosea’s prophecy moves forward Jezreel is mentioned here. Jezreel was where Naboth’s vineyard was and thus a plot by Jezebel to slaughter Naboth to get the vineyard for Ahab was done. The extensive sins of Ahab and Jezebel along with all those who followed this horrific couple brought the sins of the House of Israel to a new level of Idolatry, bloodshed. These sins were extensive and unrighteous. But the sin of committing murder, spilling innocent blood is grievous. Many commentators believe this is what is meant by “the blood of Jezreel”!
The one in the spotlight here was the committed Jehu. He was a soldier of fortune and first was a bodyguard to Ahab. Jehu however became the one who was charged to carry out the death and destruction upon Ahab and Jezebel. Jehu was anointed King at the time of Ahab’s overthrow. It was Jehu who carried out Gods command upon Ahab and his regime. However, bloodguilt comes in at this point where according to Keil and Delitzsch Jehu had abused the commands he had been given. Jehu carried out the command given to him but did so as a mere cloak for what he desired all along, that being Ahab’s kingdom. Jehu did not walk in the law of God but continued the worship of the calves [Baal worship], which was a cardinal sin of all the kings of the ten tribes. It became clear that Jehu had no intention of reviving the nation towards the Lord God and following his commandments. Jehu had power and that was what was paramount!
Thus, it would be the massacre itself that Jehu committed which became an act of blood-guiltiness. This bloodguilt called for legal and lawful vengeance.
Jehu again did not take heed to walk in the law of God with all his heart, but continued the worship of the calves, that fundamental sin of all the kings of the ten tribes.
Keil & Delitzsch | A Prophet the Whore and Children
The trouble of the Northern Kingdom never went away. But the end did come! It would be fifty years after the death of Zechariah that Jeroboams sins came to the full before God who caused the ten tribes to be carried away captive. Zechariah was son to Jeroboam [Jeroboam 2nd].
Thus, what occurred with Solomon and the giving of the whole nation of Israel to two separate houses comes full circle. The Ten tribes, northern Kingdom, or the House of Israel with its ten tribes being carried captive left only one house remaining which was Judah.
The Wife of Whoredoms and the first Son
The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. So, he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived and bare him a son. And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Hos 1:2-4 | A Prophet the Whore and Children
Joshua tells us that the forefathers of Israel, from whence Abram came; did so with a warning. In Joshua 24:14 we find that this portion of scripture warns “put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt, and serve ye the LORD”! Abram who became Abraham and was given a promise was to come out of the place where his forefathers served other gods. Abraham did come out and separate himself from the gods and idols his forefathers worshipped. Abraham believed God; thus, it was imputed unto him for righteousness’ sake. As with Abraham, be sure the call to come out and put away the gods and idols that surround you also pertains to Christians today. We are in the world not of the world! Further we are told that the world will hate us! They will do this because they do not know the Father or the Lord Jesus Christ.
But Jehu, by cleaving, against the will of God, to Jeroboam’s sin, which served his own political ends, showed that, in the slaughter of his master, he acted not, as he pretended, out of zeal 2Ki_10:16 for the will of God, but served his own will and his own ambition only.
Albert Barnes O.T. Commentary | A Prophet the Whore and Children
Even in Christian churches today we can find multiple denominations with varied traditions and theologies. Just read the judgments given to the Seven churches in Revelation to understand that there were troubles within the church in the Apostle Johns Day when he wrote the Apocalypses. The same is true today! Just as among Israel there were the children of God, the children of the promise, and the children of whoredoms or of the devil; so too there are the same within Christianity. We are warned to come out of her!
The Daughter Loruhamah
There comes a time when Gods mercy has reached an end. Judgment comes when those who God wants to repent do not. It came that when Solomon sinned, the nation of Israel which had risen to great heights was divided. To this the two nations, Judah the Southern kingdom, and the House of Israel the Northern kingdom both eventually fell. I repeat this here for a true witness to the two houses of Israel! The Northern tribes were carried away, intermingled with the heathen tribes they were conquered with. To this date, these are known as the Lost Tribes of Israel. For as Loruhamah says, “I will nor more have mercy upon the house of Israel, but utterly take them away.
Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy
And she conceived again and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hos 1:6-7 | Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy | The Whore, the Prophet, and the Children
Further, we find the other house, known as the House of Judah, would also be judged. They were carried away to Babylon, then returned to the Land after seventy years. There the temple was rebuilt. Loruhamah says that God would have mercy on the House of Judah. However, he would not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
The people whom God once loved, who had shown mercy to them; now found that mercy and love turned to judgment. We find in Psalm 103:13 “as a father pitieth or yearns over his own children, so the Lord will pity or yearn over those that fear him!” But Israel no longer feared this God nor loved him enough to follow his commandments.
The Son Loammi, ye are not my people, and I will not be your God
Within Loammi we find this Son addresses both houses. At some point both houses would become “not my people” and thus “I will not be your God”! This indeed occurred with the House of Israel, the Northern ten tribes being carried away captive and known as the Lost tribes of Israel. But Judah later sinned and after being warned by the Prophets continued in her sins until Babylon carried her away captive for seventy years. It would be under the Persian king Cyrus, aka “Gods Anointed” who would be used of God to see that the Jews in Babylon would return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and to live.
Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. Then said God, call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Hos 1:8-11 | Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God | A Prophet the Whore and Children
Despite being carried away the prophecy here says, “in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.” In addition, we find that both houses mentioned here the children of Judah the ‘southern kingdom’ and the children of Israel the “northern kingdom’ would come together again and be one. They would then come up out of the land. Here it says for great shall be the day of Jezreel. The place of Jezreel is the arena where the kingdom was defeated in battle and the northern tribes ended as a nation. It was the time and place where the wickedness of the people was stopped and dealt with. It also became the beginning of the redemptive portion for the Jews at that time in the Northern kingdom. This points to a wonderful time of uniting with Judah as people who serve the Lord God and know him.
There are many prophecies that address the uniting of Israel. The apostle Paul deals with the fact that God has not rejected Israel. In the end, Paul says “all of Israel shall be saved”! At some point, both houses will be one and will return to the Lord. But in this we also find the commission of the Gentiles for redemption. In fact, today there are many Jews who have come to the Lord and know Yeshua Ha Massiach. These Messianic Jews form but one group of believers. The other are the Gentiles. Through the New covenant God has called not only the Jews, but all people in all nations to come to him. This is what the gospel is all about. However, many nations today are actively fighting the gospel and persecuting it and those who follow it.
Moreover, we find Peter and the Apostles at Jerusalem were to go to the Jews and the Apostle Paul to the Gentiles. The Holy Spirit is working to redeem all those. It cannot be understated here that the Gospel has reached many Jews in other nations who were originally of those Lost tribes of Israel. Yet, God is not finished!
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Rom 9:24-26 | I will call them my people, which were not my people | A Prophet the Whore and Children
It is to this end that Hosea’s prophecies and especially of the Whore, the Prophet, and the Children give a picture of Gods dealing and future dealings. But make no mistake here, there was a people who were not Gods people who did not know him at all. Within this came the Gentiles who found the Chief cornerstone that forms Zion. Today he is the author and finisher of our faith and is bringing together all in his name. Today, we find there is no male, female, Jew, or Gentile; but all one in Yeshua “Jesus Christ”!
Thus, the judgment of a corrupt and faithless people, and grace towards the Gentiles, and afterwards towards Israel as a nation, are very plainly announced, in words which, although but few, embrace the whole series of God’s dealings
John Darby | A Prophet the Whore and Children
The gentiles have tasted of the Lord and found his grace, mercy, and love towards them. Today we find Muslims, Hindu’s, Americans, Jews, Chinese and many others coming to our Savior and Lord. While the nations today conspire against our savior, we know that Psalm Two says to them “Kiss the Son lest he be angry”!
Important Relating Scriptures and Definitions
- 1Pe 2:1-10 You were not a people, but are now the people of God
- 1Pe 4:17-19 Judgment must begin at the House of God
- Isa 2:3-4 He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people
- Rev 22:11-17 I come quickly; and my reward is with me
- Rom 11:25-32 All Israel shall be saved
- Gomer, The Whore -illustrates the two houses; she the daughter of Diblaim meaning two cakes reveals the two houses of Israel to whom the message was given and the sensual pleasure to which they fell! She represents the perfection to which Israel had forsaken the Lord.
- The Prophet Hosea [meaning deliverer] reveals Gods love and his work of redemption, but also the judgment to which must befall those who forsake the Lord God and serve other gods.
- The Children: Jezreel: God will scatter. Loruhamah: Not an object of favor. Loammi: Once my people, but not so now. These have prophetic meanings within the confine of the message of sovereignty and judgment. But they also represent a merciful God who in judgment seeks to bring those to himself through mercy. Today Gods mercy flows from His love and his love is revealed through His Son who died for us and redeemed us, giving us a permanent blood atonement for our sins!
We know God judged the original Jews who came out of Egypt and sent them into forty years of wandering. We also know that God judged both houses of Israel for falling away. God particularly judged the House of David, destroying Jerusalem, the walls, the temple, and carrying away the people and the Holy things.
Be sure then that as scripture warns, Judgment begins at the House of God. Make sure He will judge the unbelievers and rebellious. He will judge the House of the Gentiles, the church. If he destroyed the temple, the priests, and the prophets for their falling away from Him, what will he do to you Oh Gentile who is Lukewarm and in need of nothing?
