CLAIM: The Lord will stay “in His place” until the Jewish people acknowledge their guilt and seek God’s face in a time of great distress; then the Lord will revive and heal Israel.
True.
God will hide His face until Israel has borne her guilt. At the end of this, as shown in Ezekiel 39, He will restore them, pour His spirit out on them as they turn to Jesus their Messiah, and His blessings.
