This charming title is found in the closing words of Ezekiel's prophecy. We read, "The name of the city [Jerusalem] from that day [the day when our Lord's righteous government is set up] shall be THE LORD IS THERE [Jehovah-Shammah]." (Ezek. 48:35). Jerusalem has indeed been a burdensome stone for the nations, and will yet be so in a surpassing degree (Zech. 12: 3). What cannot be accomplished by man's planning, by his parliaments, by his armies, will be effected in a moment when our Lord takes up the reins of government. Peace is coming to Jerusalem, which has been the scene of the conflict of ages. Once the Prince of peace is present how restful everything will be.
Even now individually we can have the presence of the Lord with us, and what calmness of spirit that gives. What a grand word to close this series of combinations with, " THE LORD IS THERE."
