Jehovah-Shammah

JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH jĭ hō’ və shă’ mə (יְהוָ֥ה׃׀ שָֽׁמָּה, Yahweh is there). The name (KJV) to be given the restored and beautified Jerusalem of the Messiah’s kingdom (Ezek 48:35). The Lord had departed from His temple and city (ch. 11); He is to return to His city (ch. 43) and remain in favor and glory among His redeemed people forever. This is God’s goal for His elect people. God’s name is inseparably linked with His chosen city, the place of His abode. Compare the parallel in Revelation 21.
