Hosea
"You will call Me, 'My husband'"
Text: Hosea 2:16
THE NAME “BAAL”
Those who promoted idolatry used clever means to ensnare Israel. The way in which Israel made reference to God was to use the word “Lord!” Baal also means “lord” or “master”. The LORD God had to address the issue of the use of the word “Baal”.
“‘And it shall be, in that day,’
Says the LORD,
‘That you will call Me ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me ‘My Master.””
Hosea 2:16
