The pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem are reminded about the promise made to David by God that a descendant of his would inhabit the throne forever. While many understood this to mean that the nation of Israel would always prosper, God's intention is far greater. He will place a leader on the throne one day whose own personal reign would never end. This is a prediction of the Messiah. With this in mind, the travelers rejoice at the unity that comes from a common bond found in relationship with God. It is a blessing that drips with goodness and mercy! The watchmen along the walls of the temple rejoice and invite others to remember and celebrate God's goodness.
