God's name, the Holy One of Israel, is emphasized during the latter period of Judah's kingdom, reflecting a divinely ordained design to suggest the Holy Trinity. This theme is prominent in most passages where this majestic name is used, especially in its final occurrence, which describes the prophesied invasion of Israel by Gog and the land of Magog.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Holy One of Israel.
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel. And I will not let them pollute my holy name any more. And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Ezekiel thirty nine seven. This wonderful name of God, the Holy One of Israel, was often used during the days of the latter kings of Judah.
It occurs three times in the book of Psalms, and then no less than 27 times in Isaiah. The name then occurs three more times, with the final one being our text above. This unusual pattern perhaps reflects a divinely ordained design to suggest the Holy Trinity. The strong emphasis on this particular name during the latter period of Judah's kingdom probably was because of the prevalent unholiness of the nation during those years, finally culminating in the captivity of Judah itself. God stressed again and again that He was the Holy One, and that ye shall be holy, for I am holy.
This theme is prominent in most of the thirty three passages where this majestic name is used, but it is especially emphasized in its final occurrence as recorded in our text. The context of this latter passage is the prophesied invasion of Israel by Gog, the land of Magog, who will come up against my people of Israel in the latter days. At that time, says the Lord, There shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel. And I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord. Then at last his people will never pollute his holy name any more and the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the LORD God. 39, 22, and 29. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us. To support ICR's ministry, visit icr.org/slash donate.
