This basic pattern of bearing God’s glory-image was recapitulated at a typological level for the nation of Israel. Like the protological son before them, the nation of Israel bore God’s glory as typological son (Exod 4:22; 28:2, 40; 40:34; Ps 3:3; Zech 2:5). As a type, the nation exhibited a form of the glory that anticipated the eschatological glory yet to be recovered and consummated.... Just as Adam lost the protological glory when he fell in the garden, so also this typological glory did not remain. The nation of Israel, after repeatedly breaking covenant, “fell” from glory and was exiled into Babylon. In climactic conclusion to God’s typological presence with the national image bearer, the glory of the Lord left the temple (Ezek 10:18; cf. 1 Sam 4:21).
