... to many of those who desire to dwell in Jerusalem and to attend to the sound word. It is also fitting to rejoice at the destruction by Him who rides on the ass and the young foal of every hostile dart, since the fiery darts of the enemy are no longer to prevail over him who has received Jesus to his own temple. And there will also be a multitude from the Gentiles with peace at the Saviour’s coming to Jerusalem, when He rules over the waters that He may bruise the head of the dragon on the water,[Psalms 74:13] and we shall tread upon the waves of the sea and to the mouths of all the rivers on the earth.

Despise not the Seal, because of the freeness of the gift; out for this the rather honour thy Benefactor.
