The name of the new city of Jerusalem will be, "The LORD is There." The glory of the LORD left the city because of all of the idol worship as chronicled by Ezekiel. But the Jews can look forward to a time when His presence will return. The Israelites at that time will only celebrate Passover/Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles. Some think Rosh Hasannah will also be celebrated (vv. 45:18-20).
Passover will remind people of their cleansing and Tabernacles will remind the Jews of their restored position in God's salvation plan for the world. Since Tabernacles will be celebrated, I recommend people to understand this particular feast - both its past and future significance. It will be celebrated soon - beginning on sundown of September 18 this year.
