“NOT MY PEOPLE” is used 5x in Scripture and all refer to ISRAEL

 “NOT MY PEOPLE” is used 5x in Scripture and all refer to ISRAEL



The book of Hosea is about God commanding His prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute named Gomer in which God would proclaim through Hosea’s life/ wife and “kids” the evil that the House of Israel NK was doing to Him, and the FAFO that God would drop on Israel, the unfaithful whore, idolater, uncircumcised, lawbreaking, lost sheep, lost son that gets cut off from covenant, divorced from God and called “NOT MY PEOPLE!”




Hosea's wife, Gomer, a prostitute, has a child named Lo-Ammi.  Israel is called, "NOT MY PEOPLE" by God.  God says that He is NOT their GOD!

Who is the "THEM" in this context?  ISRAEL because they were called, "NOT MY PEOPLE."  They are prophesied to be called "SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."  - This is fulfilled in Romans 9 and 1 Peter 2 see below. 


God called Israel, "NOT MY LOVED ONE"
and "NOT MY PEOPLE."
In the future to when Hosea wrote this, God promises to show them His love and to called them, "YOU ARE MY PEOPLE."

This is FULFILLED in the NT.  Paul and Peter both quote God's prophecy through Hosea as being fulfilled in the first century last days generation 30-70AD. 



HOSEA 1

This is the Lord’s message that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the time of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the time of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, he said to him, “Go marry a prostitute who will bear illegitimate children conceived through prostitution, because the nation continually commits spiritual prostitution by turning away from the Lord.” So Hosea married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. Then she conceived and gave birth to a son for him. Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Name him ‘Jezreel,’ because in a little while I will punish the dynasty of Jehu on account of the bloodshed in the valley of Jezreel, and I will put an end to THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL.5 At that time, I will destroy the military power of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to him, “Name her ‘No Pity’ (Lo-Ruhamah) because I will no longer have pity on the nation of Israel. For I will certainly not forgive their guilt. But I will have pity on the nation of Judah. I will deliver them by the Lord their God; I will not deliver them by the warrior’s bow, by sword, by military victory, by chariot horses, or by chariots.”

When she had weaned “No Pity” (Lo-Ruhamah), she conceived again and gave birth to another son. Then the Lord said: “Name him ‘Not My People’ (Lo-Ammi), because you are not my people and I am not your God.”

10 (2:1) However, in the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea that can be neither measured nor numbered. Although it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “You are children of the living God!” 11 Then the people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint for themselves one leader, and will flourish in the land.  Certainly, the day of Jezreel will be great!



***Hosea is straight forward of who is called "NOT MY PEOPLE" by God and that is ISRAEL, The Northern Kingdom! 

***Paul sights Hosea regarding those who were called, "NOT MY PEOPLE."   





Peter was written to the exiles scattered aka lost sheep of the house of Israel.



Hosea 1:9  Then God said: “Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are NOT MY PEOPLE,And I will NOT BE YOUR GOD.  

10 “YET THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, Which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are NOT MY PEOPLE,’ There it shall be said to them, ‘YOU ARE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.’  11THEN THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL BE GATHERED TOGETHER,
And appoint for themselves one head; And they shall come up out of the land, For great will be the day of Jezreel!


**If a group of people were once called by YHWH, “MY PEOPLE” and who said “I will be your God,” then called those same people, “NOT MY PEOPLE” and “I WILL NOT BE YOUR GOD” by YHWH, what does that mean?
It could mean that because of transgressing YHWH’s LAW and playing the Harlot with other gods, Israel (the Northern Kingdom) was cut off as The covenant people and no longer had YHWH as their God. They were just like any other nation, people, country, GENTILE. 

Hosea 1:10 prophesies YHWH bringing back into covenant people status, the group of people that was CUT OFF and called NOT MY PEOPLE.  They are brought back into covenant fellowship with the living God through The Gospel, grafted back in, and given the title: “YOU ARE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD!”

**v11 Notice how YHWH’S WORD prophesies that the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be GATEHRED TOGETHER.  Since Romans was written around 57-58 AD 
at the end of the old covenant age and states that those things which God prophesied in Hosea were happening in the 1st century, then the SONS OF GOD or CHILDREN OF GOD were present in the first century.   The fulfillment of THE REVEALING OF THE SONS OF GOD happened by 70AD. Romans 8:12-25


Hosea 2:23  Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were NOT MY PEOPLE, ‘You are My people!’ And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”




Romans 9:25  As He says also in Hosea“I WILL CALL THEM MY PEOPLE, who WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, And HER BELOVED, who was not beloved.”

Romans 9:26  “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are NOT MY PEOPLE,’ There THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.”

**NOTICE HOW ROMANS 9:26 DEFINES WHO “NOT MY PEOPLE” ARE.  THEY ARE THOSE WHO WERE CALLED “NOT MY PEOPLE” IN WHICH THE SAME PLACE, THEY WILL BE CALLED “MY PEOPLE.””
ISRAEL was called NOT MY PEOPLE in the OT 


ROMANS 9  27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, THE REMNANT WILL BE SAVED.  28 For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”

**NOTICE how Romans 9:27 parallels Hosea 1:10 speaking of the children of Israel.  
Notice how Paul speaks of the remnant of the children of Israel would be saved.


Peter uses a similar phrase, "NOT A PEOPLE," "NOT RECEIVED MERCY."

1 Peter 2:9-10  
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, A PEOPLE FOR HIS OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 ONCE YOU WERE NOT A PEOPLE,but NOW YOU ARE GOD'S PEOPLE; once you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but NOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED MERCY.


ROMANS 9:3-5 summarizes whose story the Bible was! https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2025/05/romans-93-5.html

2. NOT MY PEOPLE was attributed to THE GENTILES by Paul.
3. ISRAEL was THE GENTILES Paul is speaking of.




ROMANS 9

 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,those of my own race, the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!15 For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
    and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?”20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 


24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles (ISRAELITE)? 25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are NOT MY PEOPLE  (ISRAELITE) ;

    and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is NOT MY LOVED ONE ,”(ISRAELITE) 

 26 and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
    ‘You are not my people,’
(ISRAELITE) 
    there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”

27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,
    only the remnant 
(ISRAELITE) will be saved.

28 For the Lord will carry out
    his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”

29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty
    had left us descendants,

we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.”

30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles(ISRAELITE) , who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall,
    and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”



ROMANS 11

So I ask, God has not rejected his people (ALL ELECT ISRAEL), has he? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people (ALL ELECT ISRAEL) whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left and they are seeking my life!” But what was the divine response to him? I have kept for myself 7,000 people who have not bent the knee to Baal.”

So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant (ALL ELECT ISRAEL) chosen by graceAnd if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace. What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened, as it is written,

God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear,
to this very day.”

And David says,

Let their table become a snare and trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see,
and make their backs bend continually.”

11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles (ISRAELITES), to make Israel (JUDAH-JEWS) jealous. 12 Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles (ISRAELITES), how much more will their full restoration bring?

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles (ISRAELITES). Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles (ISRAELITES), I magnify my ministry, 14 if somehow I could provoke my people (JUDAH-JEWS) to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world (COVENANT WORLD), what will their (JUDAH-JEWS) acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.

17 Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you (ISRAELITE), a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root, 18 do not boast over the branches. But if you (ISRAELITE) boast, remember that you (ISRAELITE) do not support the root, but the root supports you (ISRAELITE)19 Then you (ISRAELITE) will say, “The branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted! They (JUDAH-JEWS) were broken off because of their unbelief, but you (ISRAELITE) stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear! 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches (JUDAH-JEWS), perhaps he will not spare you (ISRAELITE)22 Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God—harshness toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness toward you (ISRAELITE), provided you (ISRAELITE) continue in his kindness; otherwise you (ISRAELITE) also will be cut off. 23 And even they (JUDAH-JEWS)—if they (JUDAH-JEWS) do not continue in their unbelief—will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you (ISRAELITE) were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches (JUDAH-JEWS) be grafted back into their own olive tree?

25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles (ISRAELITE) has come in. 26 And so ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED, as it is written:

The Deliverer will come out of Zion;
he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
27 And this is my covenant with them,
when I take away their sins.”

28 In regard to the gospel they (JUDAH-JEWS) are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they (JUDAH-JEWS) are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. 30 Just as you (ISRAELITE) were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you (ISRAELITE), they (JUDAH-JEWS) too may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how unfathomable his ways!

34 For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to God,
that God needs to repay him?

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.



***Paul speaks of restoration and reconciliation in Rom 11:12, 15.  One cannot restore or reconcile a relationship that wasn't NEVER there in the first place.  God only had a "personal" relationship or a covenant relationship with Israel.  Only Israel was under God's covenant.  Sorry, no Samoans, Filipinos, Mexicans... were ever under the Bible covenant!  
We were trained to ASSUME the Bible God is your God along with its covenant and story! 








The following passages are on the phrase “CHILDREN of GOD” and “SONS of GOD” who were ISRAELITES who received The Gospel by 70AD. 

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called SONS OF GOD.

nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are SONS OF GOD, being sons of the resurrection.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become CHILDREN OF GOD, to those who believe in His name:

and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the CHILDREN OF GOD who were scattered abroad.

Romans 8:12-25
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are SONS OF GOD. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are CHILDREN OF GOD, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
18 FOR I CONSIDER THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTH COMPARING WITH THE GLORY THAT IS TO BE REVEALED TO US. 19 FOR THE CREATION WAITS WITH EAGER LONGING FOR THE REVEALING OF. the SONS OF GOD. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the CHILDREN OF GOD. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the CHILDREN OF GOD; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

For you are all SONS OF GOD through faith in Christ Jesus.

that you may become blameless and harmless, CHILDREN OF GOD without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called CHILDREN OF GOD! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.  2 Beloved, now we are CHILDREN OF GOD; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

In this the CHILDREN OF GOD and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

By this we know that we love the CHILDREN OF GOD, when we love God and keep His commandments.


@@@ The House of Israel was cut off in the OT and called "NOT MY PEOPLE" by God for being an unfaithful, whore, idolater, uncircumcised, lawless... They got scattered into the pagan gentile nations.
God promised to regather them and call them out of the nations.  
They were grafted back into covenant and adopted as sons of the living GOD through The Gospel.  This was fulfilled by 70AD. 

And they lived happily ever after...
The End.   








The fullness of the gentiles came in and ALL ISRAEL WAS SAVED and all prophecies fulfilled in 70AD, thus the Bible story ended!

The Bible story was then resurrected after 70AD by the Romans and Israel’s redemptive story though completed in 70ad, was hijacked with unfulfilled prophecies again!
