The Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134) were songs for the Israeli festival worshippers. All males of that country above the age of Isaac at his redeemed offering (see Gen. 22.1-19), were instructed from God in the Mosaic Covenant to attend, sacrifice, and stand in the special place of God’s presence at the Jerusalem Temple. It was the place God chose the place His Name, and thereby indicating redemptive acts in the minds of worshippers during the time of that First Covenant.

Here is a good study of the different perspectives and vistas afforded when visiting this city. Of course Christianity is not a pilgrimage religion as was the First Covenant. The fulfilled promise given in Jerimiah 31.31-34, provided knowledge of God intimately through the Spirit. Still, in light of studying the bible’s unfolding through the ages, Christians need to know how to take from old treasures and compare them with the new treasures in Christ: Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old (Mt. 13.52 ESV).
