This is the second post on Hosea. The first one is here. To repeat the introduction, this series of posts tests Peter’s claim that all the prophets spoke about his days and his generation. According to the inmillennial prophetic model, these were the “last days” of the Mosaic age. In previous…

We’re testing Peter’s claim that all the prophets spoke about his days, his generation. According to the inmillennial prophetic model, these were the “last days” of the Mosaic age. We verified Moses (here and here), Samuel, and Obadiah did so, following the chronological order Peter (and Jesus) suggested (Acts 3:24; Luke 24:27).…
