For your viewing pleasure, some pictures from Peru…
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her; Bring her into the wilderness
And speak kindly to her.
Then I will give her her vineyards from there,
And… a door of hope
And she will sing there as in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from [slavery].
“It will come about in that day,” declares the LORD,
“That you will call Me Husband
And will no longer call Me Master.
For I will remove the names of the [gods] from her mouth,
So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.
In that day I will also make a covenant for them…
And will make them lie down in safety.
I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice,
In loving kindness and in compassion,
And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will know the LORD.”
~Hosea 2: 14-20
