“The Lord reigns forever, the God of Zion, forever and ever. Praise the
Lord.”
(Psalms 146:10)
Eternity is the reward for bonding in God’s love through the blessings
He constantly bestows in us with His goodness. Thus we realize that it is as
eternal as Him, and this happiness beyond possible description is only manifest
in Zion, Jerusalem; the utmost joy of all hearts. Hence we will praise Him for
eternity, for this praise is as infinite as Him.
“The Lord builds up Jerusalem, He gathers together the dispersed of
Israel.” (147:2)
This realization will be factual when all the dispersed children of
Israel are gathered by their God. Our Sages understand this as the prelude to
the rise of the Third Temple that God builds along with Jerusalem, for these
are irrelevant without the entire gathering of the Jewish people in the land of
their divine inheritance.
This last and eternal Temple and its city are rebuilt with spiritual materials and qualities that will reflect the new consciousness the Creator
promised for the Messianic era. Hence the edifices and towers of the city are already
made of light columns and beams with compartments made to last forever, as the
verse suggests in regards to eternity. Likewise, human and material life will
be also spiritual as it was originally created at the beginning of God’s
creation in the Garden of Eden.
“Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. For He has strengthened
the bars of your gates, He has blessed your children in your midst. He
established peace in your borders; He fulfills you with the best of wheat.” (147:12-14)
These verses reiterate the previous ones in regards to Jerusalem, as it
was originally created by God; and as is going to be in the Jewish final
redemption and the advent of the Messianic era.
The strengthening of the bars that protect Jerusalem tells
us about the strong spiritual qualities that dissipate wickedness in all forms,
for evil will fade before them. Goodness is the blessing that spreads out in levels,
aspects, dimensions and expressions of our new future consciousness dwelling in
the city of God. Hence peace is the air we will breathe in its midst. Our food
will be from the best of wheat that can only be God’s love.
