The Warning of Shiloh

Commentators explain that God's reference to Shiloh is a powerful historical precedent. Shiloh was the original site of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant, yet God abandoned it because of Israel's sin. This proves that God is not bound to any physical location, and the Temple in Jerusalem could suffer the same fate if the people's wickedness continued.
