DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 28:1-29; Isaiah 66:1-24; Romans 8:18-39

It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. Ezekiel 48:35

After witnessing the glory of the Lord departing the temple earlier in his ministry, it must have been thrilling for Ezekiel to now see the glory of the Lord among His people again. For the Jew, this will be the most wonderful feature of the millennial kingdom; God once again among them and in His temple. The entire planet will be filled with the knowledge, blessings, and glory of God in Christ. In Christ’s kingdom, there will be no such questions as: “Who is the Lord?” or “Where is the Lord?” His presence will be cherished and His glory extolled by all. Dear believer we will be there to see it! —W. A. H.

Over heathen lands afar, thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise, O morning Star, arise, and never set. —Lewis Hensley
