The fall of Samaria and the exile of the northern kingdom of Israel was primarily due to their failure to heed the warnings of which prophet?

  1. Isaiah
  2. Jeremiah
  3. Hosea ✓
  4. Ezekiel

Explanation

Hosea warned the northern kingdom of Israel that their unfaithfulness to God would lead to exile. God told Hosea to marry an unfaithful woman as a picture of Israel’s spiritual adultery.

Despite loving warnings, Israel continued worshiping idols and trusting foreign nations instead of God. Hosea predicted that Assyria would conquer them and take them away.

Hosea’s message combined judgment with God’s deep love and desire for His people to return to Him.
