Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 48:35

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

Measuring all four squares.

Or Cubits at which proportion'd measures 'twas about five miles in compass if the measures were reeds it would be 30 miles and 325 yards in compass of the Walls which cannot be conceived credible▪ whereas the other is the proportion the City might have been built to, if the sins of the Iewes had not prevented.

By which called, known, and which shall be the honour of it, and its glory.

From the day of the Lords restoring this people, and rebuilding their City, and re-establishing his worship, and their thankful, holy, and pure worshipping of God there, from the day, that such unmatched mercy produceth a suitable return unto God, from that day it shall be said of Ierusalem.

The Lord, who as his name alone is Iehovah, so is the onely true God, faithful to Promise, rich in Mercy, glorious in Ma[illegible: 1 letter]esty, righteous in his judgments, wise and holy in his Government whose Presence makes us happy, whose withdrawing from us leaves us to misery. This God will, by his Favour, and Presence, repel Enemies, and protect his people bring with him the Con[illegible: 1 letter]luence of all Good to Persons Family and Cities; This God will be there to dwell, govern, defend, prosper, and crown. The people is blessed that is in such case, for their God is the Lord, Ps. 144.15. Such was the case of Typical, Earthly Ierusalem, tho' not long such is, and shall be for ever the case of the Heavenly Ierusalem, the City of God, the true Church and Temple of God. Such the case of every true sincere believer, who may, where ever he is, in his way of Duty, still write Jehovah Sharumah, My God is here, and 'tis best to be where he is, till he bring me within the Gates of the glorious City, where inconcei[illegible: 1 letter] able light and love from the immediate presence of God give every one an Eternal Demonstration that [non-Latin text not transcribed]; to him be glory for ever.
