PUT YOUR TRUST IN YAHSHUA/JESUS

Hosea 4:6-9 (New King James Version)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your Elohim/God, I also will forget your children. 7 “ The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change[a] their glory[b] into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds. Hosea 6:1-3 (New King James Version)
A Call to Repentance 1 Come, and let us return to Yahweh/the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of Yahweh/the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
