The Christian interpretations of the prophet Hosea in the light of themystery of Christ follow three ways. Firstly, the life of the prophet and hismarriage to an adulterous woman (Hos 1:2-9) was seen as a typologicalprefiguration of the marriage of Christ and the Church (Hos 2:9,21-22).Secondly, some verses have been interpreted on the historical level asa prophetic annunciation of the coming of Christ, containing his teachings(Hos 6:6) or foretelling events of his life (Hos 6:2; 9:12; 11:10). Finally, on thesymbolic level, some literary motifs have been connected in a metaphoricalway with the mystery of Christ (Hos 6:3; 10:12; 13:3).
