And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
When that day comes, tons of different nations are going to join God's family and become his people. I'll be right there living among you, and you'll know for sure that the God who commands everything sent me to you.
God's family is about to get way bigger, and he's moving into the neighborhood.
