Ezekiel 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Ezekiel 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
If we start with verse 23, we at least know from the text that the Lord God had been hiding His face from the house of Israel up until this point in time. We then need to backup in Ch 39 a bit in order to see what events have to be fulfilled before the Lord God is no longer hiding His face from the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
According to this block of text, it is not this Judgment that the Lord God executes, being when He is no longer hiding His face from them. Has He already executed this judgment? If the answer is yes, and that one can prove it, this indicates He is no longer hiding His face from them, obviously. But, if He is yet to execute this judgment, this indicates He is still hiding His face from them, even today, obviously.
Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
Can this block of text be compared to any Scriptures in the NT? What about the following?
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
In both accounts, every feathered fowl is being spoken to, to gather to His sacrifice He sacrifices for them, and in both accounts it is men of war who are being sacrificed. Obviously, both accounts are referring to the same events, and that Revelation 19 proves Ezekiel 39:17-20 is future still, which then means the Lord God is still hiding His face from the House of Israel to this day. To argue otherwise is to deny that Ezekiel 39:17-20 and Revelation 19:17-18 are referring to the same events. Which then means you need to prove what past event Ezekiel 39:17-20 is referring to. And finally, to argue otherwise is to deny that when the Lord God is no longer hiding His face from the House of Israel, it is meaning once He has executed the judgment recorded in Ezekiel 39:17-20.
Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
