The Glory of God Departs the Temple

In chapter 10, Ezekiel again sees God's "chariot", as he had in chapter 1. God is pronouncing judgment and taking Israel's greatest treasure -- His glory and presence -- from them. He displays both His judgment, and His patience -- for it has taken Him THIS long to do this, long after Israel started worshiping foreign gods. The attitude of those still in Jerusalem was that of arrogance; how much is that of our nation arrogance, and looking down on the lost of our nation, how arrogant are we as believers? Or as those of our particular denomination? We must repent of this, for the Lord hates it!
