For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
God says, 'On my holy mountain, the high place in Israel, that's where all of Israel will worship me together in their own land. That's where I'll welcome them back, and that's where I'll want their offerings, their first and best gifts, and everything they set apart for me.'
God's promising a comeback story where his people worship together in their home again.
