They've only heard about it. The temple's a distant memory. The glory cloud that once filled the temple is gone, Ezekiel had already been shown what is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the entire Old Testament, in chapters 8 through 11, God lifts him in this vision to Jerusalem and makes him watch the glory of the Lord, the very presence of God move through the temple, then depart eastward towards the Mount of Olives, leaving the temple just empty and the people defenseless.
