The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Bereshith R. 56 applies to Messianic times — LORD rebuilds Zion
Zion Rebuilt
The psalmist foresaw God rebuilding Zion and appearing in glory.
Old Testament
Psalm 102:16
The LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
New Testament
Revelation 21:2
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
Why This Matters
The psalmist foresaw God rebuilding Zion and appearing in glory. Revelation shows the ultimate fulfillment — the new Jerusalem descending from heaven, God's dwelling place with His people forever.
Reflection
Lord of the future, as I study Zion Rebuilt, anchor my hope not in circumstances but in Your coming reign.
