And the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is There—identifying the city's new name, emphasizing that God's presence dwells within the restored Jerusalem. The name encapsulates the fundamental promise of restoration: God's abiding presence with the people. The emphasis on presence concludes the restoration narrative by affirming that restoration culminates not in territory or political autonomy but in the return of God's indwelling presence. The new name represents the city's transformed status and identity. This verse, the final verse of Ezekiel, completes the prophecy by establishing that the ultimate goal of restoration is covenant renewal and the assurance of God's permanent presence among the people.
