HOSEA CHAPTER 11

Hosea 11 6: The people who hold the highest positions in our society today are descended from the Assyrians.

Hosea 11 10-12: I once heard Christian so-called comedian Ken Davis say that the only animal the Bible calls us to be like is sheep. This is totally false.

While Jesus is the Good Shepherd and we are His sheep, and while we definitely can be like sheep in all the wrong ways, we are also called to be lions. Jesus is pictured here as the Lion Of Judah. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 11 1 "be immitators of me even as I also am an immitator of Jesus Christ." We are commanded to be like Jesus, who indeed is the Lion Of Judah, roaring as verse 10 of this chapter says he does.
