The glory of the LORD is departing Jerusalem, but with a promise to return when the exiles return, with a new heart and spirit of obedience and authenticity. They will have hearts of flesh instead of stone. He is leaving in judgment, which will allow the atrocities of the judgment to take place. They have profaned his sanctuary, so now the sanctuary goes with him, while the buildings in the physical sanctuary are ruined. The remnant have found sanctuary in him. That is the way of the new covenant.
LORD, gather us, and free us from our hearts of stone.
Ezekiel 11:14-25
