This study begins a new Bible study series on the minor prophets. In this study Mr. Smith gives an introduction to the minor prophets and then goes into the background of Hosea. He covers the first nine verses of Hosea 1 and then shows that we need to look at some of the history given in first and second Kings in order to understand verses 4 and 5 that deal with God bringing an end to the dynasty of Jehu.
