God says: when Israel was a child, I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Here you can see clearly how the first Christians read Scripture. Hosea is looking back on the exodus; he predicts nothing. Matthew sees Jesus as the true Israel, walking the people's road once more: into Egypt, through the water (baptism), forty days into the wilderness (compare forty years). Where Israel failed, Jesus stays faithful.
