Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 11:23

"And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city." — Ezekiel 11:23 (ASV)

The mountain which is on the east side of the city - The Mount of Olives. The rabbis commenting on this passage said the Shechinah retired to this Mount, and there for three years called in vain to the people with human voice that they should repent.

On that mountain, Christ stood, when He wept over the fair city so soon to be utterly destroyed. From that mountain He descended, amid loud Hosannas, to enter the city and temple as a Judge.
