Oseas 1:2-10 Nadie podría acusar a Oseas de “hablar con el ejemplo” y sin “caminar la caminata.” En su trabajo como profeta, Dios lo hace representar sus profecías en maneras que nos parecen destructivas y abusivas. Se casa con una prostituta, Gomer, específicamente para explicar la metáfora de Israel prostituyéndose a sí misma a otros…
Hosea 1:2-10 No one could accuse Hosea of “talking the talk” without “walking the walk.” In his work as a prophet, God has him act out his prophecies in ways that strike us as destructive and abusive. He marries a prostitute, Gomer, specifically to explicate the metaphor of Israel whoring herself out to other gods….
Amos 8:1-12 Nuestro entorno inmediato no siempre es el mejor indicador del gran mundo que nos rodea. A veces, como Amos, nosotros podemos ver que la canasta de frutas que se sienta delante de nosotros es, además, una cesta de fruta. Esa cesta de fruta, sin embargo, podría ser el sustento de una persona. O…
Amos 8:1-12 Our immediate surroundings are not always the best indicators of the great world around us. Sometimes we, like Amos, can see only that the basket of fruit sitting before us is, well, a basket of fruit. That basket of fruit, however, might be one person’s livelihood. Or it could be the means to…
Amos 7:7-17 En el tiempo del profeta Amos, el pueblo de Israel estaba en una época de paz y prosperidad. Sin embargo, la prosperidad les había hecho olvidar su pacto con Dios. Dios los había liberado de la esclavitud de Israel, y en cambio, ellos debían mostrar su fidelidad a Dios, viviendo vidas de compasión…
Amos 7:7-17 At the time of the prophet Amos, the people of Israel were in a time of peace and prosperity. However, prosperity had led them to forget their covenant with God. God had delivered them from bondage in Israel, and in return, they were to show their faithfulness to God by living lives of…
2 Reyes 5:1-14 Desde el llamado inicial de Abrahán de Ur a la muerte y resurrección del Rey Jesús, la vocación de Israel fue clara: incorporar la luz, la bondad y la justicia de su Dios para todas las naciones. Sin embargo, gran parte de la escritura se dedica a explicar cómo Israel destacó en…
2 Kings 5:1-14 From Abram’s initial call from Ur to the death and resurrection of King Jesus, Israel’s vocation was clear: Embody the light, goodness and justice of your God to every nation. Much of scripture, though, is spent explaining how Israel excelled in doing the opposite. In this short vignette from 2 Kings, an…
2 Reyes 2:1-2, 6-14 El libro Segundo de los Reyes continúa la historia de Israel desde el Primer libro de los Reyes. Elías pronto dejaría a Eliseo para ascender o ser “llevado” al cielo. Elías y Eliseo habían salido juntos desde Gilgal. Como Robert Wilson señala en las notas de 2 Reyes en “El Estudio…
2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14 Second Kings continues the history of Israel from 1 Kings. Elijah will soon be leaving Elisha and ascend or be “taken up” to heaven. Elijah and Elisha have set out from Gilgal. As Robert Wilson points out in the footnotes on 2 Kings in “The Harper Collins Study Bible” (Harper Collins,…
