Strong's Lexicon Hósée: Hosea Original Word: Ὡσηέ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name הוֹשֵׁעַ (Hosea), which means "salvation" or "he saves." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Hebrew #1954 - הוֹשֵׁעַ (Hosea) Usage: In the New Testament, Ὡσηέ (Hósée) refers to the prophet Hosea, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. His name signifies "salvation," reflecting the central theme of his prophetic message, which calls Israel to repentance and highlights God's enduring love and mercy. Cultural and Historical Background: Hosea was a prophet in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the 8th century BC, a time of political instability and spiritual decline. His ministry occurred during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah in Judah, and Jeroboam II in Israel. Hosea's message was unique in that it used his own marriage to Gomer, a woman of unfaithfulness, as a symbolic representation of Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Despite Israel's idolatry and sin, Hosea's prophecies emphasized God's desire for reconciliation and redemption.
