And the name of the city
This phrase signifies the importance of names in biblical times, often reflecting character, purpose, or divine promise. In Hebrew culture, a name was not just a label but a declaration of identity and destiny. The city referred to here is the New Jerusalem, a prophetic vision of a restored and holy city. This city represents the culmination of God's redemptive plan, a place where His presence is fully realized.

from that time on
This phrase indicates a perpetual state, suggesting a transformation that is both immediate and eternal. It marks a new era in the relationship between God and His people. Historically, this reflects the hope of the Israelites for a future where God's promises are fulfilled, and His presence is unceasing. It speaks to the eschatological hope of Christians for the eternal reign of God.

will be
This future tense verb underscores the certainty and assurance of God's promises. It is not a mere possibility but a definitive declaration. In the context of biblical prophecy, it emphasizes God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The assurance that this will come to pass is a cornerstone of Christian hope, rooted in the trustworthiness of God's word.

The LORD Is There
This is the English translation of the Hebrew name "Yahweh Shammah." It encapsulates the essence of God's promise to dwell among His people. The name signifies God's omnipresence and His intimate relationship with His creation. In the historical context of Israel, it was a profound assurance of God's continued presence despite their exile and suffering. For Christians, it is a foretaste of the ultimate fulfillment in the New Heaven and New Earth, where God's presence will be fully realized. This name is a source of comfort and hope, reminding believers that God is always with them, guiding and sustaining them through life's journey.

(35) Round about eighteen thousand.--The circuit of the city, not including its "suburbs," or open space, was 4 x 4,500 = 18,000 reeds, or something over thirty-four miles. Josephus reckoned the circuit of Jerusalem in his day at four miles.

Measures.--This word is rightly supplied from Ezekiel 48:30; Ezekiel 48:33. On the symmetry of the city and its gates and the names of the gates, comp. Revelation 21:12; Revelation 13:16.

The Lord is there.--With this name of the city Ezekiel closes his vision and his book. It is a most fitting close; for the object has been to depict, under the figures of the Jewish dispensation, the glories of the Church of the future. The culmination of this glory must ever be that the Lord, according to His promise (John 6:56), will dwell in the believer, and the believer in Him. Imperfectly as this may be carried out here on earth, the effect of the Gospel is to bring about ever more and more fully its realisation; and the closing book of the volume of Revelation, catching the echoes of Ezekiel's prophecy, looks forward to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem "coming down from God out of heaven," and declares, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them and be their God" (Revelation 21:2-3). . . .

Verse 35. - The entire circuit of the city should, according to the above measurement of the walls, be eighteen thousand reeds, i.e. 18,000 × 6 (cubits) × 1.5 (feet) = 162,000 feet = 3
