Yahweh Shammah

Yahweh Shammah
The Lord is there.

Yahweh Shammah means The Lord is there. It is the name of the Heavenly City of God and is found in the last verse of Ezekiel (48:35).

The first verse of Ezekiel reads, “The heavens were opened and he saw visions of God.” Ezekiel’s entire message from the first to last verse is clear – the very essence of heaven is the glorious Presence of God.

The prophet Zechariah also recorded his vision of heaven – “For I,” says the Lord, “will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her,” and, “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,” says the Lord. (Zechariah 2:5; 2:10)

Matthew, Jesus’ disciple, quoted Isaiah who prophesied of Jesus birth, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which means God with us.” (Matthew 1:23; Isaiah 7:14)

Jesus said, “I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Helper so that He may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him, for He dwells with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:16-17)

God appointed Paul to proclaim the mystery of the fullness of God’s Word – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

God’s beautiful presence is in the midst of His people!
