One of the biggest questions that arises from the life of Hosea is why God would orchestrate his obedient prophet’s life in such a manner that Hosea would suffer so much. He married Gomer knowing she would be an adulteress, suffered the humiliation of her having multiple affairs, and gave his children sad names because of this marriage. Hosea was a prophet, obedient to His Lord, but still he suffered. It is a picture of a good man who has many bad things happen to him.
