The Beauty of Good News
Commentators explain that the 'beautiful feet' are not about physical appearance. The verse paints a picture of someone in desolate Zion seeing a messenger running on distant mountains. The sight of their rapid movement is beautiful because it signals the imminent arrival of good news—the end of captivity and the restoration of peace. The joy is in the anticipation of the message.
