Ichabod is a Hebrew word meaning "the glory has departed". "The LORD God of heaven" is a designation of God that is peculiar to Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel. After the fall and destruction of Jerusalem, God could no longer be identified with the temple as the One who dwelt between the cherubim. The glory had departed; "Ichabod" was written over the shield of Israel. Ezekiel saw the vision of the departure of the Shekinah glory.[1] He returned to heaven. For this reason, in the post-captivity books He is "the LORD God of heaven."
