God Asks Hosea to Marry Gomer, a Harlot, and Raise Children by Her to Demonstrate Israel’s Harlotry (Hosea 1)

Hosea is referred to as the “prophet of love” because his messages centred on God’s love for the children of Israel in spite of their unfaithfulness. His marital experience served as a practical example to his message of love. His message was against immorality, political and religious corruption. He encouraged the people to repent and turn back to God. His period of prophecy spread through the reigns of king Uzziah, Jothan and Ahaz in the southern kingdom and Jeroboam in the northern kingdom.

Unlike Amos, he was a native of Israel (i.e. Northern kingdom), and he delivered his message there. At the time of his prophetic ministry, northern kingdom was witnessing a period of political instability and religious syncretism.
