God hid His Face
Ezekiel 39:24 "According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them."
God hid His face from Israel, when they were involved in false worship.
Isaiah 54:8 "In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer."
Israel in exile and dispersion has been like a wife whose husband has rejected her. But this is only for a brief time compared to the everlasting kindness she will enjoy when the Messiah returns to gather the woeful wife.
