************************************************************************************************************************

Who was the prophet whose wife was unfaithful to him, symbolizing our unfaithfulness to God and His unconditional love?

ANSWER: Hosea (Daniel 1:7)

As Hosea was a faithful husband to Gomer, and cherished her, so God was a faithful husband to Israel, and cherished her. As Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea, so Israel had been unfaithful to God.

The name Gomer means "complete enough" or "burning coal".
