Most miserable punishment is God leaves us

Hosea 9:10-17
Israel it was like finding grapes in the desert; like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree; very rare,
Ephraim's glory will fly away like a bird - no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I hated them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house.
My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations.
Sin has become habitual, ingrained, to the point where God finally withdraws his love.
Having wandered from God they will become wanderers among the nations.
David Hubbard makes the sad point that 'from the time of Hosea's threat until the present the vast majority of Israel's sons and daughter have listed Diaspora(散居)(Dispersion分散) as their address.
Gilgal: A center of Baal worship, but also the place where Saul was acclaimed king. It is probably this that Hoses has in mind. The people's eagerness to have a king had in it the seeds of danger of the later kings would usurp(篡) God's place as the true Leader of his people.
Why?
There identity is not compare with their deeds. So the Lord rejected Ephraim.
The terrible destiny for Israel caused by their wickedness.
Ephraim means made me fruitful in the land. But now their is rare and Dispersion.
God is only way to me, away from the Lord there is no way to go. Give up myself, is the way to revival. Do not fall in God's grace. The point is how is my heart to receive the grace of the Lord?
Most miserable punishment is not the flesh suffering, but God leaves them.
How?
Do I have good fruits for a Christian? Be humble and thanks all of the grace and mercy of the Lord. Do not worry about tomorrow!
