According to Israel’s uncleanness and transgressions God dealt with them.

“According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.”’ Ezekiel 39:24

God deals with the Jewish people and the rest of the world according to our sin. “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:11-13

Because we are all sinners, including the Jewish people, we fall short of the glory of God. We fall so far short that that the only option for the Holiness of God is to destroy sin, as without Him humanity plunges into destruction. Because God loves us and seeks our redemption, He sent His Son Jesus Christ so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. When God sees Jesus Christ in us, He sees His Holiness and considers us righteous for His sake. God deals with us according to our sin, we can reject Jesus Christ and suffer the consequences of sin, or we can receive Jesus Christ and receive the gift of eternal life, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

When God hides His face from us, it’s because Jesus Christ is not a part of who we are, and the only thing showing in our spirit and soul is the sin that we have inherited. That spiritual corruption leads to the Battle of Armageddon, the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of this present heaven and earth.
