Ezekiel's vision by the Chebar River
Among the exiles in Babylon, the priest Ezekiel saw a vision of God's glory on a throne carried by living creatures and wheels full of eyes, and was called to be a watchman for Israel.
I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:26 (World English Bible)
Ezekiel saw that God's glory was not confined to the temple in Jerusalem; it had come to the exiles. Later visions showed the glory leaving the temple before its destruction (Ezekiel 10–11) and returning to a new temple (Ezekiel 43). God promised to give his people a new heart and a new spirit.
