"And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim." — Ezekiel 10:18 (ASV)
Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house From where he had removed from the cherub or the cherubim, between the mercy seat, (Ezekiel 10:4) ; taking another step towards a general departure from the temple and city, of which this was another signal and warning:
and stood over the cherubim : not on the mercy seat from where he came, for there he returned not; but over the cherubim or living creatures seen in the vision, which were under the throne in the firmament of heaven; an emblem, as we have seen, of Gospel ministers:
and this may denote the exaltation of Christ, who is the glory of the Lord, the brightness of his Father's glory, above sheen; his protection of them, and presence with them; for, let him move where he will, he will not depart from his faithful ministers; he will be with them to the end of the world.
