He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind?
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.There are many references to 'wind' and several references to 'whirlwind' in Scripture. 'Wind' here is in Hebrew 'ruwach' (Strongs 7307), which was first used at Genesis 8:1. There we learn wind is not inherently evil, in fact in this instance it was helpful and good since it dried up the waters of the worldwide Flood. 'Whirlwind' is in Hebrew 'cuwphah' (Strongs 5492) which was first used at II Kings 2:1 to describe Elijah's ascension to heaven. Apparently, neither is 'whirlwind' inherently evil.Therefore we must approach the answer from the perspective of the verse's context. What IS being discussed in Chapter Eight of Hosea?Israel's idolatry!God wishes here to point out Israel's pattern of sin which led to her being returned to the bondage of government by other nations.Israel had 'sown wind' by looking to Assyria for protection rather than depending upon their God, 'sown wind' by breaking covenant with a holy God in worshipping idols rather than worshipping Him, and 'sown wind' by choosing a king from among men rather than wanting God Himself as their king as Moses had so respectfully asked--and been graciously allowed.Therefore Israel reaping 'the whirlwind' was for Israel reaping something similar in nature to that which they sowed, yet larger, and in this case far more dangerous, as whirlwinds can be. At the end of the passage God's disapproval with Israel is clear and pointed, highlighted by the prophet Hosea:My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. Hosea 9:17
