Commentaries on Ezekiel 48:35

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35The name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there - It would have been better to have retained the original words: - שמה יהוה Yehovah Shammah . This is an allusion to the shechinah, or symbol of the Divine Presence, which was in the first, but most certainly was not in the second temple; but Ezekiel tells us that the Divine Presence should be in the city of which he speaks; and should be there so fully and so powerfully, that it should give…Read the comment

So, the prophecy in Ezekiel…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3535. Lord is there--Jehovah-Shammah. Not that the city will be called so in mere name, but that the reality will be best expressed by this descriptive title (Jr 3:17; 33:16; Zec 2:10; Re 21:3; 22:3).Read the comment
