[Avodah] Seeing the Simcha of Yerushalayim

[Ezra Chwat]

Some interesting stats on the phrase "kol... zoche vi..." 

Appears just once in  Mishnah, and never in Tosephta or Yerushalmi.
9 Tannaic sources (3 of them R. Yonatan). 13 Amoraic, (not including
the one mentioned in the inquiry).

The "zchut" earned in sources break down as follows: Olam Haba-9, future
or unnatural Olam Hazeh- 7, Olam Hazeh- 4.

So there's plenty of room to understand the intention of "Zoche V'roeh
Bsimchata" as all of the above.
