This call to be glad for Jerusalem reflects the prophetic vision of its restoration and future glory. Historically, Jerusalem has faced numerous sieges and destructions, notably by the Babylonians and later the Romans. The exhortation to be glad suggests a future hope and fulfillment of God's promises to restore Jerusalem, as seen in prophecies like those in <a href="/zechariah/8-3.htm">Zechariah 8:3-5</a>, where God promises to return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem.<p><b>and rejoice over her,</b><br>Rejoicing over Jerusalem indicates a deep emotional and spiritual connection to the city, which is often seen as a symbol of God's covenant with His people. This rejoicing is not just for the physical city but for what it represents: the presence of God, the fulfillment of His promises, and the ultimate redemption of His people. The call to rejoice is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/122.htm">Psalm 122:1</a>, where the psalmist expresses joy at the prospect of going to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.<p><b>all who love her.</b><br>The phrase "all who love her" implies a community of believers who have a deep affection and commitment to Jerusalem. This love is rooted in the understanding of Jerusalem's significance in God's redemptive plan. It includes not only the Jewish people but also Gentiles who have come to recognize the importance of Jerusalem in God's purposes, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-3</a>, where all nations are drawn to the mountain of the Lord in Jerusalem.<p><b>Rejoice greatly with her,</b><br>The repetition of the call to rejoice emphasizes the intensity and sincerity of the joy expected from those who are connected to Jerusalem. This great rejoicing is a response to the anticipated blessings and peace that will come upon Jerusalem, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/66-12.htm">Isaiah 66:12</a>, where God promises peace like a river and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream.<p><b>all who mourn over her,</b><br>This phrase acknowledges the current state of mourning due to Jerusalem's past sufferings and desolations. Mourning over Jerusalem is a theme found throughout the scriptures, such as in Lamentations, where the prophet Jeremiah laments the destruction of the city. However, this mourning is not without hope. It anticipates a time of comfort and restoration, as promised in <a href="/isaiah/61-3.htm">Isaiah 61:3</a>, where God will provide for those who mourn in Zion, giving them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central city in Jewish history and prophecy, often symbolizing the people of God and the place of His dwelling.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who conveyed God's messages to the people of Israel, including prophecies of judgment and restoration.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mourners_of_jerusalem.htm">Mourners of Jerusalem</a></b><br>Those who lamented the city's destruction and longed for its restoration, representing a faithful remnant.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_restoration.htm">God's Restoration</a></b><br>The event of God bringing back His people and restoring Jerusalem, a theme of hope and renewal.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_exile.htm">The Exile</a></b><br>The period when the Israelites were taken captive, leading to mourning over Jerusalem's desolation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joy_in_restoration.htm">Joy in Restoration</a></b><br>God's promise of restoration brings joy to those who love Him and His purposes.
