Read chapter 48
The book of Ezekiel comes to a close with a most fitting verse saying the name of the city in the future eon of his visions from God will be called Jehovah Shammah- the Lord is present. The Lord will no longer be afar off, but ever present. You have probably noticed in scripture that things are called by what describes them. Calling this city isn't just a cool sounding name, but the reality of the character of that city- Jehovah truly is there. And with His presence there is protection, peace, blessings, joy, all good things!
Jesus Christ is ever present within us who believe and one day He will be ever present in the Holy City and all citizens of the world. There will be no doubt that He is there. Lord bring the day!
