Psalms of Ascents
Bro. Phil Sweeny from the Atlanta North Ecclesia presents this interesting series on the Psalms of Ascent.
Zechariah 12-14 is not just another series of prophecies about the “last days”: It is specifically about the creation of God’s People, the New Jerusalem, the Kingdom of God. It is the time of the new heavens and earth, the new order of things that replaces the world as we know it now. We are standing with Zechariah on the very threshold of the Kingdom of God on this earth, and he is about to reveal to us how it will all come to pass.
Long musical compositions are often separated into short movements to facilitate performance and comprehension; these often contrast in tone to convey mood such as tension in discord vs. peace in harmony.

The last watch is over. The new day has dawned. We enter Jerusalem's gates in praise. What a joyous day! All trials are past. We join the presence of the LORD in thankful worship for His eternal peace in His anointed, Christ Jesus our Lord! “This is the day which the LORD hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Psalm 118:24)
