A Gradual, Warning Departure
Commentators explain that God's glory does not leave the temple all at once, but in deliberate stages. In this verse, the divine chariot pauses at the east gate, the final exit point. Matthew Henry sees this as a merciful warning, giving a 'provoking people' a chance to repent and pray before He is gone completely. It serves as a powerful call for believers to seek the Lord while He is near.
