PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #25: YAHWEH SHAMMAH - THE LORD IS THERE
Key Scripture’s : Ezekiel 48:35

Understanding the Name:
God doesn’t entirely abandon sinful humanity after Adam and Eve are cast out of paradise in Genesis. Instead, God begins to reestablish his relationship with them. He starts by choosing a people for his own. Then he delivers his people from their slavery in Egypt, as Deuteronomy 4:37 says, “by his Presence and his great strength (NIV)”. God dwells with his people first in the form of a pillar of cloud and fire, then in the movable tabernacle in the wilderness, and later in the Jerusalem temple.
But still God’s people sin. Tragically, the prophet Ezekiel witnesses the glory of God departing from the temple because of their continued unfaithfulness. God is no longer there. Despite God’s absence, the book of Ezekiel ends on a note of tremendous hope, predicting a time of restoration, when “the name of the city from that time on will be YAHWEH Shammah (The LORD is there).
