The call to joy reflects the anticipation of a significant divine event. In the context of Zechariah, this joy is linked to the restoration and future glory of Jerusalem. Historically, this period follows the Babylonian exile, and the return of the exiles to Jerusalem is a cause for great celebration. Theologically, this phrase can be seen as a foreshadowing of the coming of the Messiah, who would bring ultimate joy and salvation to God's people. The imagery of Zion as a daughter emphasizes the intimate and cherished relationship between God and His people.<p><b>for I am coming to dwell among you</b><br>This promise signifies God's intention to be present with His people, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible. In the Old Testament, God's presence was symbolized by the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem. The promise of God dwelling among His people points to the restoration of the Temple and the re-establishment of Jerusalem as a spiritual center. This phrase also has eschatological implications, looking forward to the New Testament revelation of God dwelling among humanity through Jesus Christ (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>) and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-16.htm">1 Corinthians 3:16</a>). It anticipates the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem, where God will dwell with His people eternally (<a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>).<p><b>declares the LORD</b><br>The declaration by the LORD underscores the certainty and authority of the promise. In the prophetic literature, such declarations affirm that the message is not merely the prophet's words but a divine pronouncement. This assurance would have been particularly comforting to the post-exilic community, who faced uncertainty and challenges in rebuilding their city and lives. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes God's covenantal faithfulness and His role as the sovereign ruler over history. This divine assurance is a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to fulfill His promises to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/daughter_of_zion.htm">Daughter of Zion</a></b><br>This term refers to the people of Jerusalem or the inhabitants of Zion, symbolizing the collective community of God's chosen people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, Yahweh, who is making a promise to His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem/zion.htm">Jerusalem/Zion</a></b><br>The city of Jerusalem, often referred to as Zion, is the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_coming_of_the_lord.htm">The Coming of the LORD</a></b><br>This event signifies God's promise to dwell among His people, which is both a present and future hope for Israel.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/prophet_zechariah.htm">Prophet Zechariah</a></b><br>The author of the book, a prophet who conveyed God's messages to the people of Israel during the post-exilic period.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joy_in_god's_presence.htm">Joy in God's Presence</a></b><br>Recognize the joy and gladness that come from knowing God is with us.
