Hosea was a prophet who lived during the eighth century BC in the kingdom of Israel. He was chosen by God to prophetically illustrate the relationship between God and His people through his own personal experiences. Hosea's call to marry a promiscuous woman named Gomer became a vivid metaphor for God's covenant relationship with Israel, which had been marked by infidelity and spiritual adultery.
