Jehovah is a Christian anglicized vocalization of this name. ==Christian interpretation== (詳細はEaston's Bible Dictionary identifies the city in Ezekiel's vision as Jerusalem, and as a type of the gospel Church.〔(Jehovah-shammah ) in ''Easton's Bible Dictionary'' at CCEL〕 Commentaries such as that of Matthew Henry draw attention to the similarities of the vision of the holy city, the new Jerusalem, in the closing chapters of the Christian Bible, ; these include the square plan, the twelve gates, and the presence of God.〔(Ezekiel XLVIII ) in Matthew Henry's ''Commentary''.〕 Jehovah-Shammah is therefore understood not merely as a name but as a description of the future reality.〔(Ezekiel Chapter 48 ) in Jamieson, Faucett & Brown. Online at CCEL.〕 Charles Spurgeon preached his New Year sermon in 1891 on this text in Ezekiel, declaring:〔(Jehovah-Shammah: A Glorious Name for the New Year ), January 4th, 1891, Metropolitan Tabernacle. Available online at the Spurgeon Archive.〕 It is esteemed by the prophet to be the highest blessing that could come upon a city that its name should be, JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH, The Lord is there. The phrase is also the title of a Christian hymn written published in 1816 whose theme is God's protection of Jerusalem, the eternal home of the saints.〔"(Jehovah Shammah )" in ''A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors'', 1816, online at CCEL〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jehovah-shammah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
