“Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?”
The rhetorical question about those flying like clouds and doves to their nests evokes images of rapid return, possibly depicting the speed of ingathering or mystical ascent. The identification of those coming as Zion's sons returning from far away suggests rapid journey, whether literal or mystical-poetic. The dove imagery connects to peace and restoration, suggesting gentle, natural movement rather than coerced return. The verse's poetic flight-imagery captures the eschatological wonder: the impossible becomes possible, the distant becomes present through divine agency.
