Righteousness Prepares the Way
Commentators explain that when God is about to act in salvation, righteousness prepares the way. This can be understood as a call for people to repent (like John the Baptist's message before Jesus) or as God Himself establishing a just and holy environment for His presence. Righteousness precedes and makes way for God's glorious arrival.
