Commentators agree this verse has multiple layers of fulfillment. While it immediately describes the joyful return of Jewish exiles from Babylon, its ultimate meaning points to the spiritual journey of all believers. It describes our entry into the church ('Zion') on earth and culminates in the perfect, sorrow-free joy of heaven.
