• With the Millennium about to be ushered in Israel is seen entering “the gates of righteousness” which refers to Christ as the way into the blessing of God. (In a similar way He calls Himself “the Door” in John 10:7). Thousands in this Christian era have used this gateway to righteousness with God, but now finally Israel enters the same gate and acknowledges the Lord as their salvation (vs. 19-21). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
