While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them . . . Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead. 
Ezekiel 10:19, 22 NIV

In this vision, Ezekiel is viewing the departure of God’s presence from the temple. Ezekiel 1–9 describes the overwhelming wickedness and idolatry present in the temple, even in the inner courts and the holiest places. The people have driven God from the house they built for Him. If they’re not going to worship Him properly, there’s no reason for Him to stick around. The people have turned instead to the gods of their neighbors.
