| 0:05.2 | Ezekiel chapter 48 verse 35 and the name of the city from that time on shall be the Lord is there. |
| 0:14.8 | That's a great name for a city. The Lord is there. A place where God's presence dwells. You |
| 0:23.6 | think about this prophecy and Ezekiel chapter 48, this promise that God is going to manifest His |
| 0:31.0 | presence among His people. And then you think about the promise that the Bible holds out to us, |
| 0:37.6 | really from cover to cover, from the beginning Genesis 1 and 2. We see God's perfect presence |
| 0:44.1 | with Adam and Eve and that relationship marred by sin. Just three chapters into the Bible and God |
