The Hidden Face of God

Commentators explain that God "hiding his face" is a profound consequence of Israel's sin. It signifies the withdrawal of His favor, presence, and protection. John Gill connects this prophetic statement to the eventual removal of the Gospel from the Jewish nation and the destruction of the temple, illustrating the severe relational cost of unfaithfulness.
