This reading is as far in the opposite direction of chapter 7 as it can be. Here is where Israel asks for a king. Be sure to note why they asked—and be sure to note how God felt about it. It was the beginning of the end of earthly Israel (Hosea 13:11). The fact that it took 490 years for the end to come is not the point. The point is that God was not wanted as their King. Is He your King?
