     Explanation: Hosea 6 is a chapter of future blessing contrasted to the judgment which is necessary before reconciliation can come. The blessing is in the LORD himself: the prophet says that the LORD's "going forth is prepared as the morning" and is like the rain and the latter rain (v. 3). In contrast, the goodness of Ephraim (the Northern Kingdom) and of Judah (the Southern Kingdom) is like a morning cloud and dew which disappear. Therefore, before blessing will come, it must be preceded by judgment. [ Phil Newton. Stuart Olyott. Dominic Smart. John Stott. ].

(1). The Call (6:1-3)


     1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know [this] the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.


(2). The Rejection by the LORD (6:4 - 10:10)


(a). The Reason: Disappearing Love (6:4 - 7:16)


4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. 9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, soo the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. 10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
