THE LORD IS THERE!
“It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.” - Ezekiel 48v35
YHWH Shammah – “The Lord is there!” The last verse of Ezekiel is a marvellous picture of the summation of the history of Israel and indeed the world itself, for at the end of the day all of history is tied to Israel. Jerusalem will have a brand new name to go with her new place in the world. All of God’s promises will then be fulfilled as He brings it all together.
The wonderful thing is that He has allowed the Gentiles to share in history. Through the marvellous gift of His Son He has broken down the wall of partition so that we can share in Israel’s glory!
What does that mean to us? We will share in the day when Jerusalem is called YHWH Shammah! Yes, the Lord is here today, there is no doubt about that. But in that day the Lord will be there is a very tangible and visible way. In His presence there is no sin so that terrible burden will be done away with.
What a day that will be when all of this around us will be done away and we will know is a new way that the Lord is there!
