“Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”
The revelation of God's name—'Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am'—asserts that restoration will cause Israel to recognize God's identity and power. The promise that Israel will 'know my name' suggests that restoration brings intimate divine knowledge. The assertion 'here I am' emphasizes God's immediate presence despite apparent absence. This verse makes restoration an occasion for deepened covenant knowledge.
