At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
In that future time, people will call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD, and all nations will come together there to honor the LORD's name in Jerusalem. They will no longer follow the evil desires of their hearts.
God is promising a future time when Jerusalem will be His special place where all nations will come to worship Him, and people will turn away from evil.
