Doug,
Your religious background should not really enter the discussion. This is an
academic list.
In answer to your question: Yes, Hosea sees a reversal from God's rejection
of Israel to re-acceptance of Israel, demonstrated semantically by the
removal of the negative particle LO' from the nouns `aMMi and RuXaMaH.
