Here "your" is singular, because God was speaking to the Messiah in the quotation. Also, "face" refers to the whole person. Alternate translation: "in front of you" or "to go ahead of you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

This is a metaphor that means the messenger will prepare the people to receive the Messiah's message. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
