[:en]Thoughts from Hosea 9[:]

[:en]”Ephraim” means “twice fruitful” but in this message, there would be no fruitfulness in the harvest because the land would no longer produce.  There would no fruitfulness in the home because children will be murdered by the Assyrian invaders.  The fruitful womb would become a curse and a miscarrying womb would be a blessing.[:]
