The term "God of Hosts" refers to God's sovereignty over the heavenly armies, emphasizing His power and authority. This title is often used in contexts where God's might and ability to protect and deliver are highlighted. The plea for restoration suggests a period of distress or judgment, possibly reflecting the historical context of Israel's exile or oppression by foreign powers. The call for restoration is a recurring theme in the Psalms and the Prophets, where the people of Israel seek God's intervention to bring them back to a place of spiritual and national wholeness.<p><b>and cause Your face to shine upon us</b><br>The imagery of God's face shining upon His people is a metaphor for divine favor and blessing. This expression is rooted in the Aaronic blessing found in <a href="/numbers/6-24.htm">Numbers 6:24-26</a>, where the shining of God's face signifies His gracious presence and approval. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the face of a king or deity shining upon someone was a sign of favor and acceptance. This request implies a desire for reconciliation and a return to a close relationship with God. The shining face of God is also a symbol of enlightenment and guidance, suggesting that the people are seeking direction and clarity from God.<p><b>that we may be saved</b><br>The ultimate goal of the plea is salvation, which in this context encompasses both physical deliverance from enemies and spiritual redemption. Salvation in the Old Testament often involves rescue from tangible threats, but it also points to a deeper spiritual restoration. This phrase connects to the broader biblical narrative of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the work of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate Savior. The desire for salvation reflects a recognition of human inability to achieve deliverance apart from divine intervention. This plea for salvation is echoed throughout Scripture, highlighting the consistent need for God's saving grace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god_of_hosts.htm">God of Hosts</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's sovereignty and power over the heavenly armies.
