“Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.”
Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD. This universalization of pilgrimage extends the promise beyond the remnant of Israel to include all nations, suggesting that Jerusalem becomes the focal point where all humanity encounters the covenant God. The emphasis on "strong nations" indicates that even the world's political powers recognize Jerusalem's ultimate spiritual supremacy. This verse depicts the eschatological reality where God's kingship becomes manifest to all creation.
