From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 15. Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God here means the kingdom which the Messiah was to set up. See Barnes "Mt 3:2". The Jews supposed that he would be a temporal prince, and that his reign would be one of great magnificence and splendour. They supposed that the Jews then would be delivered from all their oppressions, and that, from being a degraded people, they would become the most distinguished and happy nation of the earth. To that period they looked forward as one of great happiness. There is some reason to think that they supposed that the ancient just men would then be raised up to enjoy the blessings of the reign of the Messiah.
