“…And the name of the city from that time on will be: THE LORD IS THERE.” (Ezekiel 48:35, NIV)
The manner of expressing a spiritual meaning by giving a name to a city, a people, or the like, has good reason behind it:
“Jehovah is there”, because Yahweh will never again withdraw from it, as He once withdrew, but will hold it as His everlasting possession.”
The visible presence of God’s glory, once represented in the tabernacle and in the temple, had departed, and should not return in quite the same form.
Yet Ezekiel in “visions of God” sees a temple reconstructed to receive the glory of the divine presence, a prophetic vision fulfilled in Emmanuel (“God with us”), who tabernacled among all of humanity.John 1:14. Compare Rom 9:25; Rev 21:2-3.
