The Desire of All Nations
While some scholars note a grammatical reading that suggests “precious things” of the nations, the overwhelming consensus among the commentators is that “the Desire of all nations” is a direct prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Scholars like Barnes and Henry explain that Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of humanity's deepest longings for a deliverer, righteousness, and redemption. His arrival is the event that brings true value and purpose to God's house.
