This is an incredible vision of an incredible future – when all the nations gather and worship our one true God. Israel had glimpses of this in the past – individuals from other nations that would be a part of the covenant and the people – but never a conversion of a nation to the Lord. Even in times when Assyria or Babylon (who were themselves coalitions of nations) came to invade, there was not a unification of the nations in the area of Israel. This vision of unity around one faith is what is accomplished in Christ. In Ephesians Paul says that Paul destroyed the dividing line – all nations come to Christ together; there is no more division. No wonder the early missionaries wanted to travel so far – that is good news for the whole world! It is still good news, and the end of racism, and the beginning of heaven – all people, all nations worshipping one God through Christ.
