In that day
This phrase often signifies a future time of divine intervention or judgment. In the prophetic literature of the Bible, "that day" frequently refers to the "Day of the Lord," a time when God will act decisively in human history. The Hebrew root for "day" is "yom," which can mean a literal day or an extended period. Here, it suggests a pivotal moment when God’s presence and power will be unmistakably revealed, prompting a significant change in human behavior and understanding.

men will look
The act of looking in this context implies seeking, acknowledging, or turning one's attention towards something significant. The Hebrew word "nabat" is often used to denote looking with intent or consideration. This suggests a deliberate and conscious decision by people to seek out their Creator, indicating a shift from previous distractions or idolatries to a focus on the divine.

to their Maker
The term "Maker" refers to God as the Creator of all things. The Hebrew word "asah" means to make or do, emphasizing God’s role as the one who has fashioned humanity and the universe. This acknowledgment of God as the Maker underscores a return to recognizing His sovereignty and creative power, a theme that resonates throughout the Scriptures as a call to worship and reverence.

and turn their eyes
Turning one's eyes signifies a change in focus or direction. The Hebrew verb "panah" means to turn or face, indicating repentance or a reorientation of life towards God. This phrase suggests a conscious decision to redirect attention and allegiance from worldly concerns or false gods to the true God, reflecting a heart transformation.

to the Holy One of Israel
The title "Holy One of Israel" is a distinctive name for God, emphasizing His purity, separateness, and covenant relationship with Israel. The Hebrew word "qadosh" means holy, set apart, or sacred. This title highlights God’s unique and unapproachable holiness, as well as His special bond with His chosen people. It serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the call for His people to live in holiness and devotion to Him.

(7) At that day shall a man look to his Maker.--The words are words of warning hardly less than of promise. There is to be a return to the true faith of Israel, but that return will be brought about by a bitter experience of the results of idolatry. The eyes of men will turn in that hour of their calamity to the Holy One of Israel.

Verse 7. - At that day shall a man look to his Maker. We have evidence of this revulsion of feeling on the part of Israel in the statement of Chronicles that, in the reign of Josiah, offerings of money were made for the temple service by men of "Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel," which the Levites collected and brought to Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 34:9).
