The anger of the LORD is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often resulting from the breaking of the covenant established at Sinai (Exodus 19-24). The Israelites had turned to worship Baal and other Canaanite deities, violating the first commandment ( Exodus 20:3). This anger is not arbitrary but a response to Israel's repeated rejection of God's laws and prophets ( 2 Kings 17:13-17). The anger of God is also a reflection of His holiness and justice, as He cannot tolerate sin. and He removed them from His presence
This removal refers to the Assyrian exile of the northern kingdom in 722 BC, when the Assyrians conquered Samaria and deported the Israelites. Being removed from God's presence signifies a loss of divine favor and protection, as well as a physical displacement from the Promised Land, which was a central aspect of the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). The presence of God was symbolically associated with the temple in Jerusalem, and being removed from His presence implies a severance from the spiritual and communal life centered around worship. This exile fulfilled the warnings given by prophets like Amos and Hosea, who had foretold the consequences of Israel's unfaithfulness. Only the tribe of Judah remained
This phrase highlights the division of the united monarchy into two kingdoms after Solomon's reign: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. Judah's survival at this point is significant, as it is the tribe from which David's lineage comes, and through which the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would eventually be born (Matthew 1:1-16). The preservation of Judah is seen as part of God's redemptive plan, maintaining a remnant through which His promises would be fulfilled. Despite Judah's own failings, they were spared at this time, possibly due to the reforms of kings like Hezekiah and Josiah, who sought to return to the worship of Yahweh. This remnant theme is crucial in biblical theology, emphasizing God's faithfulness to His covenant even amidst human unfaithfulness. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant God of Israel, who is just and righteous, and whose anger is kindled against Israel due to their persistent disobedience and idolatry. 2. IsraelThe Northern Kingdom, consisting of ten tribes, which repeatedly turned away from God, leading to their eventual exile by the Assyrians. 3. JudahThe Southern Kingdom, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which remained after Israel's exile. Although not without fault, Judah was spared at this time. 4. ExileThe event where the Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered and its people were taken captive by the Assyrians, signifying God's judgment. 5. AssyriaThe dominant empire at the time, used by God as an instrument of judgment against Israel. Teaching Points The Consequences of DisobedienceGod's anger is a response to persistent sin and rebellion. Israel's exile serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. The Faithfulness of GodDespite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains faithful to His covenant. His actions are just and aimed at bringing His people back to righteousness. The Remnant of JudahJudah's survival at this time highlights God's mercy and the hope for redemption. It serves as a call to remain faithful and seek God's presence. The Role of ProphetsProphets like Hosea and Jeremiah warned Israel of impending judgment, emphasizing the importance of heeding God's word and repenting. Application to Modern BelieversBelievers today are called to examine their lives for areas of disobedience and idolatry, seeking to align themselves with God's will and remain in His presence.

What are the different names for Israel?
Who was King Hoshea of Israel?(18) Removed them out of his sight.--By banishing them from his land ( 2Kings 17:23)--an expression founded upon the old local conceptions of deity. The tribe--i.e., the kingdom. (Comp.1Kings 11:36.) Verse 18. - Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel; rather, that then the Lord was very angry, etc. We have here the apodosis of the long sentence beginning with ver. 7 and continuing to the end of ver. 17. When all that is enumerated in these verses had taken place, then the Lord was moved to anger against Israel, then matters had reached a crisis, the cup of their iniquity was full, and God's wrath, long restrained, descended on them. And removed them out of his sight. Removal out of God's sight is loss of his favor and of his care. "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous" ( Psalm 34:15) - he "knoweth their way," "watcheth ever them" ( Jeremiah 31:28), "careth for them" ( Psalm 146:8); but "the countenance of the Lord is against them [averted from them] who do evil" ( Psalm 34:16). He will not look upon them nor hear them. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only. The "tribe of Judah" stands for the kingdom of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin (see 1 Kings 11:31-36; 1 Kings 12:23; ' 2 Chronicles 17:14-18), into which the greater part of Dan and Simeon had also been absorbed. This became now, exclusively, God's "peculiar people," the object of his love and of his care. The writer, it must be remembered, belongs to the period of the Captivity, and is not speaking of the restored Israel.
