English term or phrase: judgement was at hand
through fire — that He is the true God.

During the “classical prophetic time,” the eighteenth-fifth centuries BC, many prophetic messages found their way into the Bible, from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and in the books of the 12 lesser prophets, Hosea to Malachi and Daniel.

It was after this period that a marked political upheaval occurred, leading to the first exile of Israel and the birth of Judah, after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC.

Before the ’fall,” prophets warned that judgment was at hand, calling the people to repent. In the Northeast were prophets Amos and Hosea, while in the South, it was prophet Jeremiah. These seers knew that if the people would only repent, God would change His plan.

Mientras Amós los exhortaba a volverse a Dios porque el juicio estaba cerca, Oseas los incitaba a hacerlo porque Dios los amaba incomparablemente.
