God promises to make Jerusalem the world’s capital. Israel will become the blesser nation of all nations. God promised Abraham: “In you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 28:14. “The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable,” Romans 11:29.
Isaiah 2:2-4: “It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains…and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations…nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
Zechariah 8:20-23: “Thus says the LORD of hosts…The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I myself am going.’
Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD.
Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
Isaiah 49:22, 23: Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations…they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.”
Isaiah 60:3-16: And nations shall come to your light…they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip. Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and exult…
the wealth of the nations shall come to you…They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of the LORD…For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste…
The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age.”
