HOSEA 11

GOD WILL CALL HIS SON OUT OF EGYPT + SHOW THEM COMPASSION  

The phrase “God called his son out of Egypt,” is later repeated in Matthew 2:15 in reference to Jesus and His protection from Herod as an infant. Just as Egypt served as a place of provision for the Israelites, God also uses it as a place of refuge for Jesus.

Because of God’s love for His people, He does not fully relinquish His anger. Despite Israel’s continual rebellion and deceit, God displays compassion towards His people.

Hosea 11:1 - When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
