Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Ver. 22. Yea, many people and strong nations, &c.] The most populous and potent people subdued by Christ (not by any army, nor by power, but by God's Spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind, 2Ti 1:7), shall send a lamb to the Lord of the whole earth, submit to the sceptre and laws of Christ's kingdom, yield the obedience of faith, and be proselyted to the Church, Isaiah 16:1 .
And to pray before the Lord] Heb. To entreat his face, which they behold in his ordinances, those visible signs of his presence. Popish pilgrims, though they are used hardly, and lose much of their estates, yet satisfy themselves in this, I have that which I came for, viz. the sight of a dumb idol. What, then, should not men do or suffer to see God in his ordinances?
