Scott, I appreciate your post regarding the Great Mystery. You said that God never divorced Israel and I certainly agree that the Hosea story demonstrates God's faithfulness even when His bride is unfaithful.
Jeremiah 3:8 indicates that during the period of the divided kingdom, God gave FAITHLESS ISRAEL a certificate of divorce and sent her away. UNFAITHFUL JUDAH, however, was not given the certificate.
Granted, I have not spent much effort looking into this. I'm just curious what your take is on the Jeremiah passage. There seems to be a conflict with the Hosea picture.
