The Shekhina's Departure
Tuesday, April 15, 2025
In Ezekiel 10, the prophet is given an amazing vision. He sees the glory of the Lord going up from the Holy Place, leaving the Temple, going out past the Eastern Gate, up to the Mount of Olives, and then departing from Israel. This was a sign that with God's presence gone, the Temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed. In the year 586 B.C., it was destroyed. The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. Forty years before the Temple was destroyed Messiah left Jerusalem and this world. And He did it according to the pattern of Ezekiel. He went east of the city, and up to the Mount of Olives. From there He left the earth. Messiah is in the Presence of God. And until He returns, Israel is like that Temple, missing the most important thing. That's true for us as well... even as believers. If He isn't the very center of your life, the center of your day, your home, your thoughts, your dreams, and your heart, then things will never be right. Put Messiah in the center of every moment, and His Glory will never depart from your life!
From Message #1112 - The Yoma Mysteries
