The Preacha And The Prostitute

God visits His prophet Hosea, who has begun to preach without compassion and love for sinners. It's not a very comfortable confrontation, but one that ends with Hosea feeling a bit hopeful because God has decided to provide for him a wife. Hosea's enthusiasm soon dissipates when he discovers that his wife to be is a Prostitute. He is devastated and struggles with the choice to obey God. Joshua, his father, has always supported his decisions and admires his commitment to God, but is extremely skeptical of this new command. How could God expect a Prophet to marry a Prostitute? What would people think and what would be the ramification of such a union?
