God Heals Deep Divisions
Commentators explain that this verse prophesies the end of the centuries-long schism between Israel (Ephraim) and Judah. The watchmen of the breakaway northern kingdom will themselves initiate the call to return to unified worship in Jerusalem (Zion). This demonstrates God's power to restore relationships and bring His people together, reversing even the most entrenched historical and religious divisions.
