64 YEHOVAH’S Glory to Reappear...

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant
with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I [YEHOVAH God] will set My
sanctuary in their midst forevermore.

My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I [YEHOVAH God] will be their God, and
they shall be My people.

The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in
their midst forevermore (Ezekiel 37:25-28).

The regenerated nation of Israel will be a priestly nation, administering to the needs of the
surrounding nations. Chapter 48 of Ezekiel describes the location of the twelve tribes as they sur-
round the Millennial Temple in Jerusalem, and Yeshua the Messiah (the Prince) will have his por-
tion of property -- see verse 21.

The healing of the nations will take place from the trees that grow alongside the river that is-
sues from the Temple (Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:2), and “the name of the city from that day
shall be YEHOVAH (YEHOVAH-Shammah) IS THERE” (Ezekiel 48:35). The Hebrew name
YEHOVAH-Shammah implies, YEHOVAH IS THERE!

We read of this time in Jeremiah 3:17, which says –

At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD [YEHOVAH God], and
all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD [YEHOVAH], to Jerusalem;
they shall walk no more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

Also, in Jeremiah 23:5-6 –

“Behold the days are coming” says the LORD [YEHOVAH], “that I will raise to David a
Branch of righteousness [Yeshua the Messiah]; a King [YEHOVAH God] shall reign and
prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be
saved and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE
LORD [YEHOVAH GOD] OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

YEHOVAH’s presence in Jerusalem is clearly spelt out in Zechariah 8. Notice –

Thus says the LORD [YEHOVAH] of hosts: “Peoples shall yet come, inhabitants of many
cities; the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us continue to go and pray
before the LORD [YEHOVAH], and seek the LORD [YEHOVAH] of hosts. I myself will
go also.’ Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD
[YEHOVAH] of hosts IN JERUSALEM, and to pray before the LORD [YEHOVAH]
(verses 20-22).
