Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 11:24

Commentary on Ezekiel 11:22-25

(Read Ezekiel 11:22-25)

Here is the departure of God's presence from the city and temple. It was from the Mount of Olives that the vision went up, typifying the ascension of Christ to heaven from that very mountain. Though the Lord will not forsake his people, yet he may be driven away from any part of his visible church by their sins, and woe will be upon them when He withdraws his presence, glory, and protection.
