Hosea 1-3

The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the reign of Jeroboam son of Jehoash [Joash] king of Israel... (Hosea 1:1)

The opening phrase helps to orient the reader. While the story of Daniel ended in 539/538 B.C., Hosea's prophetic ministry took place during the eighth century B.C., and possibly part of the seventh century B.C. Two Hebrew monarchs ruled the Holy Land during this period, one in the North and one in the South. God's people were divided politically. As Hosea 1:4-5 shows, the prophet is particularly critical of the northern kingdom, Israel. He announces that God intends to end it. 

It is generally agreed that Hosea's prophecy concerning the end was fulfilled in 722/721 B.C., when the military forces of the Assyrian Empire defeated Israel (Recall 2 Kings 17) and took Israelite captives to other regions of the empire.
