In ancient times, a cubit was approximately 18 inches, making the perimeter about 6 miles. This measurement reflects the completeness and perfection often associated with the number 18 in biblical numerology. The city described is part of Ezekiel's vision of a restored Israel, symbolizing God's ultimate plan for His people. The detailed measurements emphasize the order and precision of God's design, reminiscent of the specific instructions given for the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple (Exodus 25-27, <a href="/1_kings/6.htm">1 Kings 6</a>).<p><b>and from that day on the name of the city will be:</b><br>The renaming of the city signifies a new identity and purpose. In biblical tradition, names hold deep significance, often reflecting character or destiny. The act of naming or renaming by God indicates a transformation or fulfillment of His promises. This echoes other instances in Scripture where God changes names to reflect His covenant, such as Abram to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>) and Jacob to Israel (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm">Genesis 32:28</a>). The renaming marks a new era of divine presence and blessing.<p><b>THE LORD IS THERE.</b><br>The name "THE LORD IS THERE" (Yahweh Shammah) encapsulates the essence of God's promise to dwell among His people. This divine presence is a central theme throughout the Bible, from the Garden of Eden (<a href="/genesis/3-8.htm">Genesis 3:8</a>) to the Tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/25-8.htm">Exodus 25:8</a>) and the Temple (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10-11</a>). It foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem, where God will dwell with humanity eternally (<a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>). This name signifies God's faithfulness and the restoration of the relationship between God and His people, a theme fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is called "Immanuel," meaning "God with us" (<a href="/matthew/1-23.htm">Matthew 1:23</a>).
