And the name of the city from that time on will be: the Lord is there

Ezekiel 48:21-35

What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the property of the city will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the center of them. So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.

These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long, the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah and the gate of Levi.

“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.”

Why?

This is the final city of Jerusalem and under the Lord!

新天新地，新耶路撒冷！

猶大及便雅閔分到的地緊臨聖城。最遠的地是雅各的兩個妾所生的後代。12個城門都一樣沒有差別了。

古代以東邊為基準，12支派，在這裏有利未支派，約瑟的兩個支派合為一。過去由東邊進入聖殿，現在因為耶穌已經來了，所以任何一個城門都可以進入。這應該是新耶路撒冷城。城門守護聖地。門也可以打開，門也是通道，有引人進入聖城的使命。這是神給以色列人也是給基督徒的責任。這城名字為"耶和華撒瑪"（神與我們同住），撒瑪：在這裏，在那裏。人看見門徒、信徒就知道這裏有神的作為在當中。我們的見證很重要！

從起初被擄完全絕望到最後回到永恆的居所。不是回到地上的耶路撒冷。

Praise the Lord for his grace love and righteousness forever. May my mind and my way always walk on His way.
