Sometimes God is more sudden, it is like Zechariah the son of this Jeroboam thought he might venture as well as his Father, his Father prospered in such ways 41 years, and why may not I? No, God came upon him in six months, 2 King. 15. 8.

Fifthly, Hosea when he came to prophesy against Israel, he saw them ⟨p. 13⟩in their prosperity, and yet continueth to threaten judgment against them. It was a further argument of the Spirit of God that taught him, and of a special insight he had into the mind of God, that he should thus prophesy destruction to them when they were in the height of their prosperity. It is true, if Hosea had come afterward in Zachariah his days, when the Kingdom was declining; or if Hosea had prophesied in Shallum's time, and others after him, then he might have seen by the working of second causes, that the kingdom was going down indeed. No, but he comes in Jeroboam's time, when there was no appearance of second causes at all of their destruction, and then prophesieth destruction unto them.
