The Valley of Achor - A door of Hope - Hosea 2

Hear Tony Pearce speak on this fascinating scripture which unlocks the deeper meaning of the prophetic word and shows us how God speaks in the wilderness experience.

Why did God tell the prophet Hosea to marry Gomer the prostitute and have children by her?  What is the significance in the names given these children in relation to God’s dealings with Israel?

The Valley of Achor is a type of the place of desolation and judgement, the cross, where Jesus brought us salvation and the knowledge of God.

“It shall come to pass in that day
That I will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.
The earth shall answer
With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer Jezreel.
Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
And I will have mercy on her who had [k]not obtained mercy;
Then I will say to those who were not My people,
‘You are My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ” Hosea 2.21-23
