"And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
…In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
Holiness unto the Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house
Shall be like the bowls before the altar."
Zechariah 14:9,20
Yahovah Shammah transliterated mans “Yahovah's presence is there in Jerusalem”.
There are many names in the Old Testament that describe the varied nature of God. (See Bullinger`s
list on names)
In this song, “ Yahovah Shammah” ties in most appropriately with the lyrics.
I used the “Y”in Yahovah instead of the “J” because the Hebrew language does not contain a “J”.
The time period is during Christ`s reign on the earth after his return; the Nations coming up to Jerusalem to worship the King. The Millennial temple is constructed according to the measurements found in Ezekiel chapter forty (see
Bullinger`s Millennial Temple) and the desert areas of the land give rise to all kinds of beautiful vegetation reminiscent of the garden of Eden.
