Verse 20

20. They shall bring all your brethren for an offering The order of the Hebrew text is, “They shall bring all your brethren” out of all nations “for an offering.” The writer is speaking still to, and in the verbal costume of, his own times. “They,” or men, shall bring an offering, or an oblation, to Jehovah at his holy mountain or Church at Jerusalem; the oblation being from far-off sections of the world as indicated by the modes of conveyance in early Jewish times. It is a sensible thought that “the spirit of this prophecy authorizes us to substitute for horses and chariots, railcars and steamships, and to assume that the transportation will be outward rather than inward; missionaries going forth into all the world, and not the nations themselves coming in to some great central Jerusalem.” Cowles, in loco.
