Eze 8:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : In Jerusalem, Ezekiel sees the glory of the God of Israel, just as he saw before with the living creatures and the throne (Ezekiel 1:1-28 ). God’s glory is present, but this makes Israel’s sin even worse. They have turned away from the true and glorious God to worship false idols. The more we see God’s greatness, the more we should hate sin, especially idolatry, which replaces God’s truth with lies. Soon, God’s glory will leave the temple because of these sins (Ezekiel 11:23 ).

‏ Ezekiel 8:5

v. 5: In Jerusalem, Ezekiel sees the glory of the God of Israel, just as he saw before with the living creatures and the throne (Ezekiel 1:1-28 ^a). God’s glory is present, but this makes Israel’s sin even worse. They have turned away from the true and glorious God to worship false idols. The more we see God’s greatness, the more we should hate sin, especially idolatry, which replaces God’s truth with lies. Soon, God’s glory will leave the temple because of these sins (Ezekiel 11:23 ^b).
