The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.
And the name of the city from that time on will
be:
THE LORD IS THERE.
Ezekiel 48:35
Footnote: The book of Ezekiel begins by describing the
holiness of God that Israel had despised and ignored. As a result, God's
presence departed from the temple, the city, and the people. The book ends with
a detailed vision of the new temple, the new city, and the new people --
demonstrating God's holiness. The pressures of everyday life may persuade us to
focus on the here and now and thus forget God. That is why worship is so
important; it takes our eyes off our current worries, gives us a glimpse of
God's holiness, and allows us to look toward his future kingdom. God's
presence makes everything glorious and worship brings us into his
presence.
