根據古老的傳統,只有先知才有權冊封君王。在這裡,我們看到先知揀選君王,並將王國賜給他(斗篷的象徵意義將在十字架下再次出現,象徵耶穌的衣袍不可分割)。
此外,南方王國得以存續的另一個原因也浮現出來:上主揀選耶路撒冷為祂的城市,祂臨在的神聖地點。
我們看到上主一步步實現祂的計劃,即使身處其中的人並不完全理解正在發生的一切。我們也可以思考,我們生命中的每一刻都至關重要,因為上主正透過我們為眾人的救贖而工作。
According to the ancient tradition, only prophets had the authority of consecrating kings. Here we see the prophet choosing the king and giving him the kingdom (the symbol of the mantle will reappear under the cross, the cloth of Jesus not to be divided).
Besides this, a new reason appears for the survival of the kingdom of the South: God chose Jerusalem as his city, the holy place of his presence.
We see God fulfilling, step by step, his own plan, even if those involved do not clearly understand what is going on. We too can consider that every moment of our life is important, because God is working through us for the salvation of many.
