When I see you dancing with such joy, I think of the text in 2 Samuel 6:14 (12-19) in which I see King David dancing mightily, for great joy at the bringing of the ark of the covenant into his city. And today Israel has reason to rejoice, for great joy and gladness, because God has brought them "home" to the land that He promised by covenant that it would be Israel's forever, even though for some periods of time they were exiled, according to the original covenant. Israel is the "miracle of history" - the only one that was abolished and scattered as a people from its land, and re-established after almost 2000 years, as an independent nation in the same land, even though they are the most enemies in the world... and yet they have become, as it is written, "at the head of all the nations"! Praise Jehovah!
