JEHOVAH SHAMMAH
“THE LORD IS THERE”
September 11, 2022
Jehovah Shammah - the Lord is There “And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and ve hundred measures. And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. And at the east side four thousand and ve hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. And at the south side four thousand and ve hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun. At the west side four thousand and ve hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali. It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there” (48:30:-35). John says of the New Jerusalem, “God is with men, and He will dwell with them. . . . God Himself will be with them” (Revelation 21:3). In vision, God takes Ezekiel to a high mountain to show him the restored city (Ezekiel 40:2). John says that an angel “carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem” (Revelation 21:10). The name of the city—Jehovah Shammah, GOD IS THERE—was intended as a divine promise to give hope. This vision of a glorious, restored city came to Ezekiel, the Jews had already spent twenty- ve years in exile in Babylon. (Psalm 137 describes their misery and longing for their homeland.) They knew they were in Babylon because of their sins and failure to follow God faithfully. But God had not forsaken them. He had promised to bring them back from exile and restore them in their native land—if they would repent and turn to Him.
