<p> [[Israel]] had attributed to [[Baalim]] the blessings [[Jehovah]] had given them: Jehovah said He would strip them of those mercies to show them their folly. In the last days a remnant will be brought into the wilderness, and be spoken comfortably to. Self judgement will be the door of hope (Valley of Achor). God will no longer be called 'my Master,' as the word [[Baali]] signifies, but 'Husband,' and He will take away the names of their idolatrous masters, Baalim, and they shall no more be remembered. Hosea 2:16 : cf. vers. 8,13,17. </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews Badli', בִּעֲלַי , my lord, Sept. Βααλείμ), a colder and more distant title for husband, whichthe prophet reproaches the [[Jewish]] [[Church]] for hitherto applying to Jehovah, instead of the more endearing term Ishi (my man, i.e. husband), which he predicts she would be emboldened to employ when freed from her idolatries ( Hosea 2:16). Some have supposed from this that the Jews had even borrowed the term Baal from the surrounding nations as expressive of sovereign deity, and so applied it to Jehovah; but this is not likely. (See [[Baal]]). </p> | |||
