1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Hosea 4:1-3
In the Bible almost everything (especially history) comes in twos.
Thus Hosea is originally writing to the old Israel (northern kingdom) which was unfaithful to God and went a ******* with other gods and religion. But like much in prophecy the pronouncements against ancient nations/people are applicable in our modern times because of the continuity of Israel and Judah.
The 10 northern tribes of ancient Israel over the centuries migrated through the Caucuses around to the north of the Black Sea (the Cimmerians, dwelling in what is now the Ukraine). These peoples migrated into Europe from bout 100 AD through to the mjor invasions of the 5th century and populated Europe through their conquests.
Thus Israel becomes the Christian major Christian nations of Europe with Joseph being represented by Ephraim (Britain) and Manasseh (the U.S.A. 'brother' to Ephraim).
The prophecy above is true and applicable because Israel has become unfaithful to God/Jesus and both the Churches and the unGodly are in contempt of their heritage and in particular the legacy of the Reformation and the many Holy Spirit Revivals over the centuries.
Even here in Australia we have mainstream Christian churches more dedicated to social justice and political action thabn they are to promoting obedience to the Word of God. That's the domain of fundamentalists. Old fashioned believers.
