A Joy for All Nations
The command to “shout for the chief of the nations” is interpreted by commentators as a call for the whole world to celebrate God's restoration of His people. This joy isn't limited to Israel; it signifies a future where Gentiles and Jews unite in praise. This demonstrates the universal scope of God's redemptive plan, which ultimately finds its fulfillment in Christ.
