Hosea 9:1-9
Do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to our God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor.
They will not remain in the Lord's land; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
What will you do on the day of your appointed feasts, on the festival days of the Lord? Even if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them.
Memphis: The pyramid tombs of Egypt's kings had stood there since the 26th century BC.
Because your sin are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired man a maniac.
Why?
It was probably at the height of the festival to mark the grape-harvest that Hosea spoke out.
The people may call him a fool, but he knows he is Go's watchman, and he will not hold his tongue.
Israel will become a slave-nation to Assyria, as they once were to Egypt.
When unfaithful to the Lord, the jubilant is in vain and their food are unclean.
You don't want to be servant of the Lord, then the Lord you be slave of other country.
That is why Elisha said to his servant it is not the time to receive gift, for that generation was unfaithful to the Lord in Israel.
Do not be jubilant like the other nations, such as Brasil, some unbelieve Americans.
How?
In the darkness generation, preach the words of God be thought as a fool, but we still insist to speak and announce it. Hope more people know this salvation until end of that day.
