And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
And you, Jerusalem, you're like the watchtower protecting God's people, the fortress keeping everyone safe. Your time is coming back around. That original authority you had? That kingdom? It's all coming back to you.
God's people will get their power and place back, it's not over, it's just getting started.
