10 • Lesson Five

F. Jehovah-Shammah=“the Lord is there”
“It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there”
(Ezekiel 48:35).

The last two names of Jehovah are actually prophetic in nature. Jehovah-shammah refers to the name ascribed to the future city called New Jerusalem. It will be the site of the throne of God and of the Lamb for all eternity. This city will descend from heaven and land on the new Earth that God will create after He has destroyed this present Earth by fire.

Isaiah 60:19–20; Joel 3:21; John 14:2–3; Revelation 21:3; 22:3

G. Jehovah-Tsidkenu=“the Lord our righteousness”
“In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:6).

This is the name given to Jerusalem and to her King the Lord Jesus Christ during the millennium. At that time, Jesus will physically and personally reign over the whole Earth for 1000 years from Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 33:16; Isaiah 45:24
