Exegesis
[edit]
Verse 6-10: forsaken
One way to interpret these verses is to interpret "forsaken" as the Lord not allowing us to be in His presence--requiring that we must commune with Him indirectly. In this reading, with the exception of His life on earth and his manifestions to people after His resurrection, it is our time here on earth that we are "forsaken" by Him. This separation we endure here on the earth is sometimes called the veil. But with the Lord's mercy and the blessing of the atonement, we will be gathered and be able to be with Him again someday.
