—Hosea 2:16-23
by: Lisa Moore.
The KJV translation of verse 16 says “...that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.” Ishi is translated as ‘my husband’ and Baali as ‘my master’ using the NKJV. This helped me understand that there was going to be radical shift in the way God’s people thought of Him. God planned to bring His people into a loving relationship with Himself, a marriage that would be everlasting to a people who would no longer view Him as a master to be feared. He would ensure their protection from beasts and weapons. What a mighty God! How do you think of Him today?
