The "surge" indicates a temporary but intense reaction, emphasizing that God's anger is not His permanent disposition. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's holiness and justice, as seen in passages like <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6-7</a>, where God is described as "slow to anger."I hid My face from you for a moment "Hiding His face" signifies a withdrawal of God's favor and presence, a concept familiar in the Ancient Near East where divine favor was equated with prosperity and protection. This temporary separation is a form of divine discipline, intended to lead to repentance. The "moment" underscores the brevity of God's anger compared to His enduring mercy, as echoed in <a href="/psalms/30-5.htm">Psalm 30:5</a>, "For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime."but with everlasting kindness The contrast between the temporary anger and "everlasting kindness" highlights God's covenant faithfulness. The Hebrew word for kindness, "chesed," implies steadfast love and loyalty, often associated with God's covenant promises to Israel. This reflects the unchanging nature of God's love, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where His mercies are described as new every morning.I will have compassion on you Compassion here indicates a deep, tender mercy that God extends to His people, despite their failures. This is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, where God's compassion leads to restoration and renewal. It points to the future hope of redemption and is fulfilled ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ, who embodies God's compassion (<a href="/matthew/9-36.htm">Matthew 9:36</a>).says the LORD your Redeemer The title "Redeemer" is significant, as it refers to God's role as the one who rescues and restores His people. In the cultural context, a redeemer was a family member who restored the rights of another, often through paying a price. This foreshadows the redemptive work of Christ, who is the ultimate Redeemer, as seen in passages like <a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>, where Christ redeems us from the curse of the law. The use of "LORD" (Yahweh) emphasizes the covenant relationship and God's unchanging nature.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is both just and merciful.
