ISB ~ Matthew 23 v38

your house is forsaken:The city and Temple of Jerusalem are abandoned by God to judgment (cf. Jer 12:7; Dan 9:17). Jesus, God-in-flesh, symbolically enacts this by exiting the Temple (Mt 24:1) and walking to the Mount of Olives (24:3).

• Jesus’ Temple exit recalls Ezekiel’s vision in the OT. He witnessed God’s glory leaving Solomon’s Temple and resting on the Mount of Olives, east of the city (Ezek 10:18; 11:23). God’s departure was soon followed by the Temple’s first destruction in 586 B.C.
