"Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, When I return the captives of My people."
The prophet Hosea says this to the Chosen People while he brow beats them for their infidelity and adultery towards God. I understand that it means that out of the mass of that comprises Judah as a people of God says through his prophet that only "some" will be returned from the captivity due all the sins of Judah or the severe transgressions of the Chosen People.
I might be wrong however, my reading might be all wrong. But assuming I'm in a good part on the right track, has it ever been the case that God is the business of harvests, that is in the business of "saving" for himself remnants of peoples who's greater parts seem ever to go astray ? Has this ever been the case with God and man in general? And so much so that it is the nature of God to do so? Is it the case in all dispensations or covenants including our own?
And if it includes our covenant with God whereby we claim salvation through Jesus Christ or that we are saved by faith or grace, will God harvest equally from the saved? Are Christians immune from God's harvest as with other generations or covenants or dispensations? Grave sins are now of no matter? There will not be a remnant from out of the Christians that God will need to harvests for himself?
I expect those read on Hosea and spirited in Christ will pipe in. And all who are willing.
