“And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.”
On this mountain the LORD will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food full of marrow, of well-aged wines refined, introducing an eschatological banquet on Mount Zion that represents the culmination of salvation and the gathering of all peoples in God's presence. The feast imagery, drawing on the table fellowship and communion motifs throughout scripture, suggests restoration of right relationship with God and with one another. The specification of rich food and refined wines suggests abundance and quality, the best that creation offers, consecrated to God's purposes. The universal scope—"all peoples"—indicates that the salvation includes all humanity, not merely Israel.
