God's Plan for Global Worship
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a stunning prophecy. God declares that the era of worship being confined to Jerusalem is ending. He foretells a future where His name will be honored across the entire world, "from the rising of the sun to its setting," by people from all nations (the Gentiles). This reveals God's ultimate plan for a universal, not just a national, people.
