"I will not let them profane My holy name anymore"

Text: Ezekiel 39:7

GOD’S NAME

The Lord would take great pains to guard His holy name. His name had been profaned for too long.

“‘So I will make My holy name known
in the midst of My people Israel,
and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore.
Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord,
the Holy One in Israel.
Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,’
says the Lord God.
‘This is the day of which I have spoken.'”
