Difference between revisions of "Jehovah-Shammah"

<p> (Heb. Yehovah' Sham'mah, יְהוָֹה שָׁמָּה, [[Jehovah]] is ''There;'' Sept. Κύριος ἐκεῖ,Vulg. ''Dominus Ibidem'' , Auth. Vers. "The Lord is there"), the symbolical title conferred by Ezekiel upon the spiritual representation of Jerusalam seen by him in his vision (&nbsp;Ezekiel 48:35); under a figure evidently of like import with the description of the new Jerusalem in the [[Apocalypse]] (&nbsp;Revelation 21:3; &nbsp;Revelation 22:3). In the Old Test. prophecy it appears to have been a type of the [[Gospel]] Church, (See [[Immanuel]]), probably through a primary reference to the restoration of the [[Jewish]] metropolis after the Exile, and perhaps of the recovery of the [[Jews]] to Christianity, whereas the N.T. seer carries forward the symbol to the heavenly abode of the saints (comp. &nbsp;Jeremiah 33:16). </p>

<p> '''''jē̇''''' -'''''hō´va sham´a''''' ( יהוה שׁמּה , <i> '''''yahweh shāmmāh''''' </i> , "Yahweh is there"): The name to be given to the new Jerusalem, restored and glorified, as seen in the vision of Ezek (&nbsp;Ezekiel 48:35 margin; compare &nbsp; Revelation 21:3 ). [[Yahweh]] returns to the temple which He had forsaken, and from that time forward the fact of supreme importance is that <i> He is there </i> , dwelling in the midst of His people. </p>
