We have then the natural consequence of this state of things—the restoration by the Redeemer—not ashre haish (Blessings of the Man) but ashre kol-y're (0 the blessings of every one fearing). It is an extremely beautiful picture of the Lord's earthly blessedness—sweet domestic security and home, their own home—the picture of Paradise, save that there was labor, but that giving a blessed return. The labor of their hands, not the sweat of anxious brow—redemption blessedness; but while this was so within, there was more than that—the Lord blessed them "out of Zion"—their hearts' desire, and they saw "the good of Jerusalem all the days of their life." They saw their family full of blessing, "children's children," as we read of Joseph, for as the days of a tree, now indeed were the days of His people, and "peace" (the other point) shall be "upon Israel." How different from that day when the one son of Jeroboam was taken away because there was some good in him! The righteous taken away from the evil to come!
It is the fearers of Jehovah that enjoy this blessing—yea, even to children's children. All the associations of their hearts would be satisfied. It was "out of Zion" the Lord would bless them, and they would see "the good of Jerusalem all the days of their life." How of the Lord, and yet how truly earthly and of man—human nature—these blessings are!
