Ammi and Ruhamah

In book of Hosea, Hosea bore children and named them as Jezreel, Lo-ruhamah and Lo-ammi (1:4, 6, 9) according to God's command as a prophesy concerning the house of Israel. Meaning that they would not obtain compassion from God nor would they be called God's people. But, God promised to restore them back to Himself with the promise of calling them "sons of the living God" (1:10). However, this prophesy and promise is fullfiled in the New Testament.

God indeed fulfilled His word under the victory of His love and will perfect His people making them His sons ultimately. In the New Testament, we the believers are the fullfilment His word. 

Born in sin into the world of sins and destined to die in sin, in time, we were redeemed and made His sons. As such, we have been restored and renamed from being  Lo-ruhamah and Lo-ammi to Ruhammah and Ammi. Meaning restored from being without God's compassion to God's compassion, from being not God's people to God's people. This indeed is the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ, as the fulfillment of the prophesy in the Old Testament, experienced and enjoyed in the New Testament.

Jehovah's restoration is recorded in the following verses:

Hosea 2:14-16 - Therefore I am now luring her, 

And I will bring her into the  a wilderness

And will  speak to her heart.

And I will give her her vineyards from there

And the valley of Achor as a door of hope;

And she will respond there as in the days of her youth

And as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

And in that day, declares Jehovah,

You will call Me My Husband

And will no longer call Me Baali.

Hosea 2:22 - And the earth will answer the grain

And the new wine and the fresh oil,

And they will answer Jezreel.

Hosea 2:23 - And I will sow her for Myself in the land;

And I will have compassion on Lo-ruhamah,

And I will say to Lo-ammi,  You are My people;

This is what I enjoyed in my time with the Lord this morning, the promised gospel in the Old Testament fulfilled in the New Testament:

Rom. 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the  glory of God,
Rom. 3:24 - Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.

Now, I am Ammi and Ruhamah, God's son having obtained God's compassion, so are all the genuine believers in Jesus Christ!
