Hosea. Ephraim. United States.
The book of Hosea is the prophecy concerning the United States, as Ephraim is the United States of America.
America has become a harlot and full of sin. America knows no bounds to sin and is full of idolatry and fornication. Our forefather when they establish the United States was on the basis of the Bible. Now, unto every state is full of fornication and sin, and has gone whoredom.
America has spread it’s whoredom throughout the entire world, and Israel has been influenced in the sin. There is nothing left in America, but the judgment unto desolation.
12 KJV: My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

America proclaims itself to be one nation under God, and here God has declared that that we have all err from under our God.

17 KJV: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

Ephraim is the United States, and we have joined unto Idols.

19 KJV: The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

The wing of the United States has been bound up because of our idolatry and sin.

3 KJV: I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

America has caused Israel to sin, and has caused Israel to go abhorring after whoredom, and is defiled.

7 KJV: They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

America, has begotten strange children through cloning. It is a sin unto the Lord. The word begotten means out of nowhere, which means cloning.

9 KJV: Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

America will be desolate, and that day will be in the year 2014, 2015 when the desolation abomination takes place, and the land will become desolate.

13 KJV: When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

America has now gone after the Egyptians and Arabs for help, and it’s sickness is the dying country and it knows it.

4 KJV: O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

The United States, it was once good, but now it passes away quickly like the morning cloud and dew, it vanishes.

7 KJV: They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

For America has gone after other gods, and all the righteous men has America devoured. There are no more men after God’s own heart.

8 KJV: Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

9 KJV: Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

Because of this, strangers have devoured it’s strength. America has mixed itself with strange people and has polluted the people with evil.

11 KJV: Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

America has gone unto the heathens for help, and they ask the Arabs for help, but it will be unto destruction.

1 KJV: Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

The eagle represents America, and here the Lord has said America has transgress HIS covenant and law.

9 KJV: For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild --- alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

America has hired the Arabs to bail them out, and attempts to make peace with the unbelievers.

12 KJV: I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

The 10 commandments was the foundation of America’s birth, but now the people has counted as a strange thing and has gone after sin.

8 KJV: The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

America was with God, but now everyone has gone astray and have come to abhor the house of God.

11 KJV: As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

America will be gone, it’s glory and birth will be no more. It shall be desolate.

14 KJV: Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

Because of the great sin of America, they have gone after abortion and unto plastic surgery to fake breast for fornication.

4 KJV: I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

When America was born, the Lord drew men of faith to establish the United States. A band of Love, as that was how America was born. The Lord did it.

8 KJV: How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

Because of this, the Lord is merciful and longsuffering.

9 KJV: I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

God will not destroy America, but it will become desolate because the Lord has left the land due to sin.

1 KJV: Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

America is drinking the black blood of the Assyrains, or Arabs. This is oil, because of this they try to establish peace with the heathens.

3 KJV: He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

His brother is England, and America did took his brother at birth because of the strength of God.

8 KJV: And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.

America then became rich, and because of this he knows no bounds in its sin. Iniquity abounds in America because of its richness.

1 KJV: When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

When America spake, the world trembled, but when America sided with Baal, Islam, it began to die.

6 KJV: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

America has become rich and has forgotten the Lord our God.

10 KJV: I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
When Israel saw that it needed help, it cried out for McCain and Palin, a king and princess to save Israel.

11 KJV: I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

But because of the sin, God gave America a king in his wrath, and that is unto today Obama.

13 KJV: The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

The sorrows of Israel will come upon America, and when the desolation of abomination takes place, America will be no more.

7 KJV: They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

But those who has died in Christ during the desolation of abomination, they shall revive.

8 KJV: Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

And from then, America shall know the Lord our God.

The USA is not Ephraim by a long shot

National Israel is a totally separate nation among all of the other nations of the world and has been since its formation

There are national ethnic Israelites that have been scattered among the nations .... but they are still separated for the Lord's purposes

The idea that Ephraim is Gentile is false and believing this nonsense will lead you far away from Biblical truths

Read Hosea again...with Ephraim as the modern church and the warning against the religious idolatry it clings to. The bible points to spiritual things...and not to temporal political situations. It is concerned with eternal things. Eternal judgments.

Ephraim means double fruit. We, who know the Lord are expected to produce double fruit....that of righteousness and true holiness. But we have set aside righteousness and God's way to form our own.

If you look deeply into this book (Hosea) you will see a high concentration of warnings to the modern church. This book is very useful for exhortation and instruction in righteousness.

Sowing to the wind (ch. 8:7) is the counterpart to sowing to the Spirit. Here, both wind and Spirit are the Hebrew "rouach." Double meanings are everywhere in this book. We assemble for grain and wine (Hebrew: grape juice) (ch.7:14) and we rebel against the Lord. This represents the way we partake of the Lord's supper.

Of course there is much more and much deeper allusions. Of course, very few will see these parallels. They can't see because they have been blinded to the truth. Watch the responses to this exhortation for an idea.


Maran atha!

Good points, Ephraim does represent the gentile church, as Judah represents the Jewish church.

Ephraim was born of an Egyotian woman, propheticly a gentile, a Goyim, a non Jew if you will...

Jesus came to an apostate Jewish church, apostasy is also a sign as to when He returns, apostasy in the gentile church.
