And they shall come,.... From all parts the world, from every nation under the heavens; meaning the Gentiles, and which will be a greater aggravation of the punishment of the Jews, and cause still more rage and madness: these shallcome from the east and from the west; from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, Isa 45:6and from the north, and from the south; from the most distant parts of the world inhabited by men; see Isa 43:5.
God has his chosen ones, and Christ has a people in all parts of the world; and therefore his Gospel must be preached to all nations, for the gathering of them in, which will be done in the latter day; and in the resurrection morn, as these will be raised in the several places where they will have been buried, they will come from thence, and make one body, and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and will be for ever with him:and shall sit down in the kingdom of God; in Christ's kingdom, in the new heavens, and new earth, as persons that sit down at a table, to partake of a feast; see Lu 22:30 and in the ultimate glory, where they shall have rest, peace, and joy, for evermore.
