If you have an issue with a neighbor, should you complain to someone across town, or should you go directly to that neighbor? Do you think God should give a warning to people on the opposite side of the globe or to those whom He is warning and about to deal with?
Anciently, Israel fell 130 years before Judah. They were taken by Assyria. Judah fell to Babylon. This prophecy is for a later period. It did not happen in the past.Hos. 5,1 ¶ Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah [military watch tower], and a net spread upon Tabor [to be fragile, broken].
Hos. 5,2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
Hos. 5,3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
Hos. 5,4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
Hos. 5,5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Hos. 5,6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.You should study Hosea. It is about US (primarily) and also Judah. The other minor prophets are also important as is Ezekiel. The Book of Ezekiel was written AFTER both nations had gone into captivity. His prophecies concern our day.Hos. 5,15 I [God] will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Don't know if this addresses your question or not but I've tried to clarify it as best as I understand it.
