Return ! How. 14:2-10

The northern Kingdom of Israel had strayed from God,

They went in search of riches,

And worshipped false gods.

And it did not make their lives better,

Only worse.

And God tells them through Hosea that

If they return,

He will heal them;

He will love them;

They shall blossom like lilies in the Spring;

Bear fruit like the olive tree;

And their fragrance will be like the Lebanon Cedar;

And grain will be abundant in the land.

But they did not return.

And were carried away by the Kingdom of Assyria,

Never to be heard fro again;

Thus the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel.

Let those who are wise; Hos. 14:9

Learn from Israel’s mistakes!
