We are walking in today: Names Of God--Yahweh Shammah.
Thank You Adonai for sending Minister Telia to lead us in this study of the name of the Lord God Almighty! How You continue to bless us as we walk in the cool of the day with You and You continue to draw us even closer to You that we get to see You face to face! Such a mighty and wonderful God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob that we serve! We pray that You would pour back into Minister Telia for the time she has spent in study and preparation for this word. Amen, amen!
Jehovah-Shammah – Part 1 of 4
Means the Lord is There – He is everywhere, seeing everything all at the time. His name also means, The Lord is Present in your presence. The saints are God's heritage, and the Lord is there, to guard and hold His own. To get a better understanding of Jehovah-Shammah The Lord is There we have to understand the book of Ezekiel, this will be a 4 part study of this characteristic of His Name Yahweh Shammah
The book of Ezekiel, concludes with these blessed words, as the name of the great city of the latter days. When all conflicts shall be ended, when the scattered shall be gathered, when the tabernacle of the Lord shall be among them; then this which is Zion's bulwark to-day, shall be her everlasting glory. JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH—"The Lord is there."
Ezekiel 48:35 is the end of the beginning of this book Ezekiel. We’re talking about the Past of the beginning how God introduced his glory of the Lord. Jehovah-Shammah – The Lord is there.
Ps 19:1, 2, 3, 4 David teaches that the glory of the LORD has been present since the beginning of time as seen in His creation. Paul echoes David writing that...since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature (all of which speak of God's glory for each of these characteristics gives a proper opinion of God), have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (Ro 1:20)
In contrast to God's glory seen in Creation, the glory summarized in this table refers to specific manifestations of His glory, past, present and future.
How did God choose to manifest Himself to His people Israel after redeeming them from slavery in Egypt?
Ex 13:21
Moses describes the Shekinah Glory.
And the LORD (Jehovah) was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.
The Shekinah glory cloud signified Jehovah's presence, provision (light), protection (in the darkness) and "piloting" (guidance)
Ex 14:19, 20
How did the Shekinah glory protect Israel from the pursuing Egyptians? Who is associated with the glory?
And the Angel of God (Messiah), Who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. (cp Nu 12:5, Dt 31:15, Neh 9:12)
The Angel of God is associated with the Shekinah pillar of cloud and fire. The pillar was designed for the comfort of Israel and the consternation of her enemies (Nu 14:13,14)

Moses while not mentioning the pillar of cloud and fire, alludes to Israel moving at God's command, implying the movement of the pillar (cp Ex 40:36, 37)
Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink. (Ex 17:1)
Throughout the Exodus the Shekinah glory cloud and fire were a sign or manifestation of the presence, provision and power of Jehovah.
