The prophet Hosea ministered during one of the most difficult times in Israel’s history. In Hosea’s day, both Israel and Judah faced serious threats from Assyria. In addition, by the time Hosea completed his book, the kingdom of Israel had fallen under God’s severe judgment, and judgment threatened Judah as well.
