Lesson 34
“I Will Betroth Thee unto Me in Righteousness” (Hosea 1–3; Hosea 11; Hosea 13–14)
Church Curriculum
The official church guide can be seen at the Official LDS Church site for Gospel Doctrine (Old Testament 2006)
We encourage you to make sure you are familiar with the official church curriculum as the first step in your lesson preparation, as this is the material recommended by the General Authorities of the church.
Supplementary material here is not intended to substitute for lesson preparation, but hopefully it will enhance your preparations for Sunday School.
Background
Very little is known about the prophet Hosea. His name means "Salvation is of the Lord". He lived in the Northern Kingdom of Israel around 740–725 BC, which would probably make him a contemporary of Jonah, Isaiah and Micah.
During the time of Hosea, Israel falls from the glory days of King Jeroboam II to the days of internal political chaos and external invasion from Assyria.
