In Ezekiel 10:1-22, Ezekiel sees the glory of the Lord depart from the temple. Likewise, churches who leave and do not return to their first love are in danger of seeing the glory of the Lord depart from them. Listen as Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on the departure of the glory of Yahweh from Ezekiel’s temple, the departure of the lamp stand of Christ from the church in Ephesus, recognizing the departure of the glory of Yahweh in our day, and preventing the glory of Yahweh from ever leaving our midst.
“Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD…Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.”
