Hosea - Zion's New Age Bible

1 The word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the reign of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel: then edited By Anna

The Creation of the human species.

2 In the beginning there was a Ape called Satan. He was the biggest and strongest Ape in the land, the king king of the Monkey world at that time. 2a The LORD began to speak to Satan, the LORD said to him, ‘Go, find and ‘marry’ a promiscuous woman and have children with her,’ For you will be the world's Father and she will be the world's Mother, but like adulterers this land will be unfaithful to us as their LORD.’ 3 He ‘married’ Darla, a unique human born from an ape but abandoned at a young age due to having skin not fur. 3a She was the first of her kind, different from all other things that walked or crawled the earth. Although she was God in flesh her life would of been that of loneliness and desperation. 3b Living without any luxuries and only having wild animals to comfort her. But at the age of 12 she came to know Satan and she conceived and bore him a son. 3c Satan died soon after conception but was reincarnated as her son. Before he was just a monkey, but then he died and was risen again as the son of God, the first of the dead to rise! 3d Half man and half monkey. He was fairly small stature and hunched over slightly, his skin looked more like fur, like someone with Hypertrichosis syndrome or informally been called ‘werewolf syndrome,’ 3e He did not look like the regular man of today, he had no particular skill or intelligence and his speech was like that of a monkey's but in his blood was the key to human life. 3f He was the only begotten son of God. Born on Christmas Day, in Amman, he was God’s first true creation when in human form. The Lord named him Lucifer, in the hope that his bloodline will one day lose their fur. 3g Lucifer also meaning light bringer. Or you could call him Adam as his body was to act like a damn, that was destined to channel Christ's Blood from one generation into another just like a damn. 3h He was the first of the nephilim that was talked about in the old Bible. A vicious bread yes, but still they were Gods first creation.

3i He was the chosen Noah and all sons and daughters who would carry on his bloodline was to be saved. But sadly he lost his mother at only 14 years of age. 3j Although this affected him greatly, he was a very rebellious child who always ran off to flirt with all the female apes. 3k Being much stronger and smarter than the others he was seen as their favorite, mix that with his love for sex and early fertility starting date, plus a little help from God in Spirit, it's my guess that like Noah, he would of had a handful of kids already by this point. 3l So although the lost of his mother

was a tragedy, he would not have been alone. Over the years a couple of kids turned into a hundred and counting. 3m Although many of the kids he fathered he would never have met as he was the casanova of his time, and the females that he mated with were nothing more than animals.3n But do not copy after his ways for he was part animal and there in no need for this type of behaviour in this world today. At the beginning, to insure the survival of the human race, his instinct would have been to chase after sex for his blood past through sperm was the key. 3o Also the mixing of two completely different blood types is a very complex thing and so many of his children would have turned out quite differently depending on the blood type of the mother.

3p Things were great for a while, Lucifer’s children had children and their children had children each generation with his blood in became stronger and smarter than all of the other specie. 3q They spread out over the land doing as they pleased and killing all things that stood in their way, but the tables started to turn. 3r For living like travelers that are always on the run, no longer satisfied them, they wanted to settle down, farming became a thing, but there were many that disagreed, and out of jealousy would steal and fight over crops and possessions. 3s Fighting mostly was between man and animal but it did not stop there as it became evident that their were many types of hybrid humans now. 3t Some were much smarter and stronger than others, some tribes starting coming up with odd traditions and customs. 3u The different breeds became more frightened of each other, relying on the men in their tribes so were keen to work with them more. 3v Whereas the males in the monkeys clams before would often abandon the males when they get to a certain age as the after male would see them more as a threat. 3w But now the threat came from other tribes so males were more valued for the tribes serviles. Woman to also did some of the hunting too but the males were more aggressive and dominate.’ 3x Over a long course of time a number that is unknown to me, the different breeds of netheleum died out until all that remained wans humans, Aian like Darla, Coloured like Aaliyah, Coration like Anna. 3y These are the three temples there is a fourth one who will likely from the Eastern Shores, But her time is unknown for now.

The Joining of the Father and Mother at her second comming

4 Then the LORD in Spirit gets Judah to call Israel, because the time of sacrifice is at hand, soon punishment for the massacre of God the Mother, will occur, and I will put an end to the old kingdom of Israel. 5 In that day I will break the bow of the people of Israel.’

6 Israel will conceived again and give birth to a daughter. Then the LORD said to Judah, ‘Call her Lo-Ruhamah (which means “not loved”), for I will no longer show love to the children of Israel, that I should not at all forgive them. 7 Yet I will show love to Judah; and I will save him!– not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but I, the LORD

their God, will save him with love and kisses!8 After she two years of sacrifice, Israel had another labour. 9 Then the LORD said, ‘Call him Lo-Ammi (which means “not my people”), for you are not my people, and I am not your God.

10 ‘Yet the number of people on Earth will be like sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. So surely they cannot all be bad! 10a Although it may take many years, over time the Lord’s appion on them will change from “You are not my people”, into “children of the living God”. In that day will day all people will be “My people”, and Satan, “My loved one”.

11 The people of Judah and Israel will come together; they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Israel.

2 Israel rejected and insulted by one of her Evil (and insane) children who means to destroy her

2 ‘Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband.Let her remove the adulterous look from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.3 Otherwise I will strip her naked and make her as bare as on the day she was born;I will make her like a desert, turn her into a parched land, and slay her with thirst.4 I will not show my love to her children, the people of Earth. because they are the children of adultery.5 Their mother has been unfaithful and has conceived them in disgrace.She said, “I will go after my, clients, friends and children, who give me Cities, towns and the luxuries within them...’6 Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes; I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.7 She will chase after her people but not catch them; she will look for them but not find them.Then she will say, “I will go back to the father, for then I was better off than now.”lie8 She has not acknowledged that I was the one who gave her the grain, the new wine and oil,who lavished on her the silver and gold – which they used for Baal.

8a So here someone is trying to put himself over God, which is a very common thing that people do in this world. Of Course this part of this script is not true, as it is the matrix of the world around that provides seeds and plants. 8b But even if this was a true story, which it is for

many; If someone you marry does buys you lots of nice things and then turns on you with abuse and violence. 8c As soon as the relationship turns violent or abusive the victim of that abuse should feel no obligation to stay with that person whatsoever. 8d To stay married to that person who beats, stalks, controls your life or stops you having friends, to stay married to this type of person would be a crime against yourself. 8e See this chapter not as a loving God but of a guy with anger issues whose has no respect for God and to is trying to remove her but putting her down.

9 ‘Therefore I will take away the things I gave her.I will take back my cloths and my linen, intended to cover her naked body.10 So now I will expose her lewdness before the eyes of those who lover her; no one will take her out of my hands.11 I will stop all her celebrations: her yearly festivals, her New Moons, her Sabbath days – all her appointed festivals.12 I will ruin her Possessions, which she said were her pay from her massage clients;I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them.13 I will punish her for the days she burned incense;she decked herself with rings and jewellery, and went after clients, but me she forgot,’declares the LORD.14 ‘Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.15 There I will give her back her possessions, and will make a door of hope.

15a If the read of this is in a relationship like this, and is being controlled by a bully that claims to love you, but really just causes you suffering… This is not love it is just imprisonment! 15b Your only door of hope is you walking out the front door, seeking help from someone and living elsewhere:

There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Slavery.16 ‘In that day,’ declares the LORD, ‘you will call me “my husband”; you will no longer call me “my master”.

16a The fact that he was before forcing this woman to call him ‘master’, just proves what a nasty guy this person really is and horrible how people in this world are willing to worship people like this. 16b For not everyone reads the bible, but it's clearly that some parts of it are really

not the words of God, but soo many people can not tell the difference.… 16c Even when this character is claiming to be nice he’s still forcing this woman into marrying and controlling her!

17 I will remove the names of other Gods from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked.18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground.Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.19 I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,(in force and violence more like) in love and compassion.(with anger and destruction sounds more correct after all you have just said)20 I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD. (of lies a rage)21 ‘In that day I will respond,’ declares the LORD –‘I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth;22 and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Israel not this mad man!23 I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called “Not my loved one”.I will say to those called “Not my people”, “You are my people”; and they will say, “Israel, You are my God.”’

The fathers reconciliation with his wife

3 The LORD said to me, ‘Judah, Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by other men and was a masseuse. Love her as she deserves, 2 So I bought her out from her prison 3 Then I told her, ‘You are to live with me for many days; and you will never have to do massage again, or have to date other guys and I will behave the same way toward you.’4 For the people they will live for many days without their Messiah as she will be feeling nothing nice towards them. 5 After the true God is exposed to the world the people will return to her and seek the LORD their God and Judah their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.

The charge against the People

4 Hear the word of the LORD, because the LORD has a charge to bring

against you who live in the land:‘There is no truth, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.2 There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery;they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.3 Because of this the land seems depressed, and all who live in it waste away;the beasts that wish harm on others, the bird brains that live in sky’s of desultions and the fish like people that seek knowledge but find none all they that live in the sea are swept away.4 ‘But let no one bring a harm or violence on another, let no one accuse another, for all are in the wrongBut people are allowed to bring charges against a priests.5 For you stumble day and night, and the prophets and followers stumble with you.So I will destroy your mother –6 for my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.‘Because you have rejected knowledge,They have rejected their Mother, the true God, hope and sacrifice. 6a Therefor I also reject you;because you have ignored the law of your God,and you have chosen to worship idols and so I also will ignore you and your children.7 The more priests their were, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their glorious God for something disgraceful8 They feed on the weaknesses of my people and encourage their wickedness.9 And I will punish both people and priests for their ways and repay them for their deeds.10 ‘People over the timeline will eat but not feel that they have enough; causing health problems like obesity and depression that leads many people to suicide. they will engage in prostitution; 10a Learning how it feels to be used, boughtand forced into slavery just as I was,because they have deserted the LORD and her ways11 many will be given over to rejection and suffering to give them more understanding of how bad it feels.12 My people consult a wooden idol Jesus, and a rod of lies speaks to them.12a A spirit of lust towards ‘paradise’ and promises profit leads them astray;

they are unfaithful to their God.13 They sacrifice logic and sanity and promote lies and hatred.Therefore your children turn to slavery and adultery.14 ‘I will not punish your them for thisThey will be punished by their own hands, by reading the inverted version of the Bible which is the true gospel of Christ. and a person without understanding or love will only come to ruin!15 ‘Now you, Israel, you can testify that this work,the old Bible, amounts to nothing but proof that Israel is the real christ and sacrifice of God.16 The People of Earth are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer.How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs in a meadow when they have no understanding?17 The people worship idols of lies, sex and war;18 Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution with other Gods; their rulers dearly love shameful ways.19 A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their delusions will bring them shame.

Judgment against Priests

5 ‘Hear this, you priests of end time prophecies! Pay attention, all their supporters! This judgment is against you:you have been in a snare, a net by loving the Bible.2 The rebels are knee-deep in fear. I will discipline all of them.3 I know all about Israel; She is not hidden from me.The people have turned to lies and corruption.4 ‘Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God.A spirit of lust is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the LORD.5 Israel’s pride testifies against them; the Nations, stumble in their sin;.6 When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, they will not find her; she has withdrawn herself from them.7 For they are unfaithful to the LORD; and have only been seeking after wishful fantasies. 7a They give ‘birth’ to illegitimate children who turn away from the true Lord.When they celebrate their feasts,

She will expose herself and devour their fields.8 ‘Sound the trumpet and, horn.Let the cattle cry, lead on till they are gone.9 Christianity will be laid waste on the day of reckoning.Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.10 Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones.I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of water.11 The Nation is oppressed, trampled in judgment, intent on pursuing idols.12 They are like a moth to Flame, and like rot to the people of Judah.13 ‘When the Nations saw their sickness and their sores, they were sent to the great king for help.But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores.14 For I will be like a great lion to the people.I will tear them to pieces using silence and evil looks and then I will depart from them; I will scare them off, with no one to rescue them.15 Then I will return to my lair, until they have seen their guilt, and seek my face - in their misery they will earnestly seek me. but I will cast them away!’

Israel's return to her King

6 ‘Come, let us return to the LORD.He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us;he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.2 After three years he will revive me; on the third day he will restore me??? that I may live in his presence.3 Let me get to know the LORD; let me press on to acknowledge him.As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to me like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.’4 ‘What can I do with you,?For love is so strong that it burns me inside, needing and missing you every day.4a But the fools of this world have cursed me

and ripped my only son, king and Lord away from me, My only pride and joy! Of who I love the most5 Therefore I cut the world in pieces with my false prophets, They killed you with the words of their Books – then my judgments will go forth like the sun.6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than the worship of demons.7 From the days of Adam, they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me there, following the ways of each other not me!8 The world is a city of evildoers, stained with footprints of blood.9 As marauders lie in ambush for a victim, so do bands of priests;they murder on the roads, carrying out their wicked schemes.10 I have seen a horrible thing in Israel's Land: and Israel is defiled.11 ‘Also for you Judah, a harvest is appointed.‘When I would restore the fortunes of my people,

The day Israel is revealed

7 when I heal Israel, exposed and revealed the crimes of this world!1aThey practise deceit, thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets;2 but they do not realise that the Matrix remembers all their evil deeds.and creates kalma as punishment for these deedsTheir faults engulf them; they are always before me.3 ‘They delight in their evil with their wickedness and lies.4 They cheat on those they should love the most. They waste money on waist but leave none for the needy.5 On the day of the festival that exposes that the Israel of the Bible is actually a woman and not a city or Nation.5a On that day the people become inflamed with madness and disbelief, they joined hands all the mockers.most can not believe at first,6 But their hearts however warmed up;because of all the evidence and proof that they were given they approach the new of this with intrigue.6a On the day the 8 kings came to power the people all gazed at them in amazement!

Their passion smoulders all night; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.7 All of them are hot as an oven; the people both bespied and loved their new rulers.7a The kings of the antichrist kingdom, the celebrities. and all those who denied the father and son as the Gods.7b Who took up the new name of Christ, Anna Bee, giving that name glory, power and authority!7c Not everyone however was convinced! The good people despised and questioned the leaders that had a negative influence on society.7d The bad people despised the all leaders even more!The wise did research and wanted to know christ for who she was The sheep of the world just loved and rejoiced to the music,paying little attentions to the words or the pain that truly lay hidden inside them,7e All the people of Earth were left with an ultimatum to worship the Father and the old Gospel, or the Mother and her new Gospels well it was that or Neither Gospels7f All their kings fell under criticism from those on opposite sides But none of them called on me though, for I remain in hidingfrom those who will wish to kill me!10 The people's arrogance testifies against them, but despite all thisthey do not return to the LORD their God or search for her and get her perspective,other then that what is written in this Book but many doubted that it was even written by her!10a Many will glance at my appearance and child like character and think no way was this book written by someone like that.10b For even in the past woman were banned from writing books as man believed that women were not smart enough to do such things11 some people are like pedigins, easily deceived and senseless12 When they go up, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down to earth and reality like the birds in the sky.When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them.13 Woe to them, because they have strayed from me!Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me!I long to redeem them but they all speak about me falsely against me.14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail on their beds, monning and complain.14a Even though there are others in the world who are suffering far more than they arebut they care little about the real suffering of others

who are even less fortunate than themselves14b There are some people who foolishly slash themselves,

trying to appeal to their gods because of people of old traditions preached to them from a young age that harming oneself,is how to get wealth and prosty!14c How backwards are these teachings.They turn away from me and truth.15 I helped inspire all religions songs and popular stories, but they plot evil against me and each other by inverting the massage.16 They do not turn to the ways of the Mother; they are like a faulty bow.16a All leaders will fall by my words on the day the truth of my endurance is exposed!because of their insolent words and songs against me. For this they will be explosive in the new land.

Israel to reap the whirlwind

8 ‘Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD

because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.2 Israel cries out to me, “God, I acknowledge you!”3 But the people have rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue them.4 They set up kings without my consent; they choose priests without my approval.With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.5 Throw out your idols of war and sex! My anger burns against them.How long will they be incapable of purity?6 They are from Israel!This calf Jesus – People have made it; it is not God.It will be broken in pieces.7 ‘They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.7a The preachers have no head; it will produce no flour,or wisdom and truth should I say, as flour sounds little silly in this age as we don't live on bread and pasta alone now.7b If the old Bible would have been better,

foreigners of the Goddess would swallow it up.destroyed it so that they could continue their Evils ways

8 Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like something no one wants.9 For they have gone up to their Gods like a wild donkey wandering alone.10 Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together.They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty king.11 ‘Though the world built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning.12 I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something foreign.The 10 commandments say have no idols, yet Jesus is an idol!12a It says have only one God but the Father and his Son counts as two!Its also says honor your mother and father, but they cursed satan and turned the mother in too a city!13 Though they worship a sacrifices as a gift to me, and symbolically drink Christ's blood, and eat Christ's body the LORD is not pleased with them, for doing this to her.Now she will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: they will return to Israel.14 The people have forgotten their Maker and built palaces; and has fortified many towns.But I will send fire on their cities that will consume their false religions.’

Punishment for the world

9 Do not rejoice, world; do not be jubilant.For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of hate and greed.2 Crime and violence though will not pay off.Nore will it help your World and Nations turn into a heaven for all to rejoice in and live in where all can live in peace and security2a This is the world that you want to live in but you destroy this dream when you cause harm on others2bIs that really the world you want to live in! Is that the world you want to bring up your kids in.2c You create your own world! You should create the world that you would love to live in! Not destroy the world that you love to destroy!3 They will not remain in the LORD’s new land;

You will return to Israel as you only did wrong in the past.4 They will pour out an offerings to the LORD, by learning and knowing will their sacrifice Jesus was a deception.4a Such sacrifice will be to them the bread of mourners; all who still eat him will be unclean.This food will be for themselves only; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.5 What will you do on the day of your appointed festivals, on the feast days of the LORD?6 Even if they escape from destruction, Israel will gather them, and will hate them.The things that they treasures will be taken away 7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let all know this.Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great,the prophet Israel is considered a fool, the inspired words a maniac.8 The prophet Judah, along with God in Spirit, is the watchman over Israel,yet snares await her on all her paths, and hostility in the house of his God.9 They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of old.God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.10 ‘When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert;when I saw your ancestors return, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig-tree.But when they came to her, they followed after shameful idols instead, and the false views and perception of her and became as vile as the thing they loved.11 Israel’s glory will fly away like a bird – no real birth, pregnancy or conception.12 Woe to them when I turn away from her!13 I have seen Israel, like a plant, planted in a pleasant place.But she will bring out her children to the slayer.’14 LORD – what will you give them?Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry.15 ‘Because of all their wickedness in the world, I hated them there.Because of their sinful deeds,

I will drive them out of my house.I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.16 The world is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit.16a Even if they bear children, I will hate their cherished offspring.’unless they change from their old waysand stop worshiping books of hate and promises of war17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed her;17a For it is written that you should seek wisdom not war love not hate, openness not rejection, trust and not fear,compassion not vengeance, good not eviland do what is right not what is wrong! 17b Justice should come before wealth!They that do not will be wanderers among the nations.

10 The human race was a spreading vine; he brought forth fruit for himself.As his fruit increased, he built more altars;as his land prospered, he adorned his own religions.2 Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt.The LORD will demolish their altars and destroy their religions.3 Then they will say, ‘We have no king because we did not seek the LORD.But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?’4 They make many promises, take false oaths and make bad agreements;therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a ploughed field.5 The people who live in the world live in fear because of the calf-idol of Bethlehem.Its people will mourn over it, and so will its idolatrous priests,those who had rejoiced over its splendour, because it is taken from them and proved to be false.6 It will be carried and then removed as tribute for the great Queen.The world will be disgraced; and ashamed of its foreign alliances.7 Jesus and his Father will be destroyed, swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.

8 The high places of wickedness will be destroyedThorns and thistles will grow up and cover their altars.Then they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’9 ‘Since the days of Adam, you have sinned, and there you have remained.Will not war again overtake the evildoers?10 When I come, I will punish them; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bonds for their double sin.11 Israel is a trained heifer that loves to destroy christianity;so I will put a big burden on her fair neck to do so.I will drive Israel, and judah must plough, and Israel must break up the religions.12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love,and break up your unploughed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD,until she comes and showers her righteousness on you.

12a You loved the old Bible before because it's hatred and attacks were against towns and cities that were not about you… but now that the true names have been filled in you see how disgusting and horrible the book is. 12b Before you thought that it was talking about others so dont no care that much about the distress of others, and now you see that's it's actually aimed at you, ‘God’ hates, destroys and wants to ‘murder’ you. 12c well now you are able to see how bad this book that you once worshiped actually really is! Why is there so much hatred inside of you to not care about the lives and feelings of others!

13 You have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception.Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors,14 the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated – on the day of battle, when Mother were dashed to the ground with you her children.15 So this will happen to you, Lover of this Book, because your wickedness is great for loving the old Bible.When that day dawns, the Jesus will be completely destroyed. Only the Mother Goddess will be worshiped as God!

God’s love for her people

11 ‘When Judah was a child, I loved him, and I called my son.2 But as more People formed, the more they went away from me.They formed tribes and cults and sacrificed themselves to lies and they loved images of sex and lust.3 It was I who taught them to walk, taking them by the arms;but they did not realise it was I who healed them.4 I led them with invisible cords of human kindness, with ties of love.To them I was like a mother who was not a living thing, but I came down to Earth to create them.5 ‘Will they not return to me! and will not Israel rule over them because they refuse to repent meaning return to Jerusalem who is I?6 A new gopsil will flash to their cities; it will devour their false prophetsand put an end to their plans.7 My people are determined to turn from me. Even though they call me God Most High, I will by no means exalt them.8 ‘How can I forgive you? How can I like you when you've hated me for so long?How can I treat you nicely when this is not how you would treat me if I told you i was God in secret? How can I make you like me even now that you believe?My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.9 I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate you again.For I am God, and not a man – the Holy One among you, a female!I will not come against your cities. Proving you do not treat me like i'm just a silly blonde woman who knows nothing but deceit.10 They will follow the LORD; she will roar like a lion.When she roars, her children will come trembling from the lies.11 They will come from the old world, trembling like sparrows, fluttering like doves.I will settle them in their homes though recantation,’ declares the LORD.

The world's sin

12 Judah's people have surrounded me with lies, and deceit.They are unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One.

12 The people feed on the wind; they pursues delusions and fantasies all day and multiplies lies and violence.They makes a treaty with Judah.2 The LORD has this charge to bring against them; he will punish them according to their ways and repay them according to their deeds.3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel; as a man he struggled with God.4 He struggled with the angel and overcame her; he wept and begged for her favour.He found her and talked with her saying –5 the LORD God Almighty, the Anna is his name!6 I must return to you God; maintain love and justice, and look for your true light and knowledge.7 The merchant uses dishonest scales and loves to defraud.8 They boasts, ‘I am very rich; I have become wealthy.But with all their wealth they will not find in me any iniquity or real sin.’9 ‘I have been the LORD your God ever since Adam; I will make you live in tents again, as in the days of your appointed festivals.10 I spoke to the prophets, gave them many visions and told parables through them.’11 Is the world wicked? Its people are worthless!12 Israel served to be a wife, and to pay for her tended sheep.13 The LORD used a prophet to bring Israel up from the old world, by a prophet that cared for her.14 But the people have aroused her bitterness and anger; his Lord will leave on them the guilt of her bloodshed and will repay them for their contempt with rejection.

The LORD’s anger against the People

13 When ministers spoke, people trembled; they was exalted in the world.They all became guilty of Baal worship The God who sacrificed his own son

He demanded that you sacrifice your time for him and force your children to do the same thing.all were spiritually dead.2 Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves all of them are the work of men.2a It is said of some people; ‘They offer human sacrifices! They worship the devil!’but most of this is just humans lying insulting each other3 If true though, they will disappear, like smoke escaping through a window.4 ‘But I have been the LORD your God as soon as you come out of the old World.You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Saviour except me.5 The woman in the wilderness.6 Who fed them with imagination, and inspiration, till they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me and turn to war, sex and greed.7 So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lurk by the path.8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will attack them and rip them open;like a lion I will devour them – a wild animal will tear them apart.9 ‘You are destroyed, Israel, because they are against me, against the peoples helper.10 Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns,of whom you said, “Give me a king and children”?11 So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.

12 The guilt of the people is stored up, their sins are kept on record.13 Pains as of the woman in childbirth come to him, but he is a child without wisdom;when the time arrives, he doesn’t have the sense to come out of the womb.14 ‘I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death.Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?‘I will have no compassion,15 even though he thrives among his brothers.A wind from the LORD will come,

blowing in from the desert;his spring will fail and their well will dry up.His storehouse will be plundered of all its treasures.16 The people must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God.They will fall by the new word;

Repentance to bring blessing

14 Return, to the LORD your God. Your sins have been your downfall!2 Take these words with you and return to the LORD.Say to her: ‘Forgive all our sinsand receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips.3 Jesus cannot save us; we will not mount war-horses.We will never again say “Our gods are the father and son” to what our own hands have made, for in you the fatherless find compassion.’4 ‘I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them.5 I will be like the dew to the world; they will blossom like a lily. I will send down his roots;6 his young shoots will grow.His splendour will be like an olive tree, his fragrance will become nice7 People will dwell in peace; they will flourish like the corn,they will blossom like the vine – Israel fame will be Great!8 What more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him.I am like a flourishing juniper; your fruitfulness comes from me.’9 Who is wise? Let them realise these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand.The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in her, but the rebellious stumble in the father and son.
