Catholics clearly connect The Prophets to Jesus, His Church, and our souls.

Question 1: “What ‘Amazing Prophesy’ do Catholics see in Hosea 6:1-6?”
Answer: “It is ‘Amazing’ that Hosea told us this specifically what Jesus would do when He came to earth and fulfill The Messianic Prophesies: ‘Come, let us return to The Lord, it is He Who has rent, but He will heal us; He has struck us, but He will bind our wounds. He will revive us after two days; on the third day He will raise us up, to live in His presence.’”

Question 2: “How did That Prophesy of Hosea, who lived between 786 and 746 BC, seven hundred and fifty years before Jesus came to earth in Human Form, come true?”
Answer: “First, Hosea was blessed to correctly prophesy there would be a ‘return to The Lord’ by those who would follow Teachings of Jesus.
Second: Hosea predicted that The Curtain in The Temple would be ‘rent’, or ‘torn in two’. Mt.27:52 tells us that came true 750 years later: ‘And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.’
Third: Jesus does ‘heal’ everyone who meaningfully believes in Him.”
Fourth: Jesus has ‘struck’ us with His Power to Speak One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church into being with His Ongoing Authority to give us these ‘keys’: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
Fifth: Jesus did ‘bind our wounds’ by giving us Catholic priests. They are Ordained in Living Link with His Disciples, The First Catholic Bishops. For 2,000 years, Jesus has empowered them to give us ‘Absolution’ for the sins that ‘wound’ every soul.
Sixth: Jesus personally fulfilled Hosea’s Prophesy by being ‘revived after two days’ and ‘raised up on the third day’. His followers would have our souls ‘rise’ to the heights of Heaven and ‘live in His presence’!”

Question 3: “How do Catholics know that we can ‘live in His presence’?”
Answer: “We may be blessed to be forever in The Chosen Group identified in John 15:14! ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
~
Question 4: “What helps Catholics see The Truth of Every Word of Jesus and The Bible?”
Answer: “We obey God’s Direct Order in Today’s Psalm 95:8. ‘If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart.’”
