Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel-Specific Promises

While the verse mentions "Jerusalem" and "the families of the earth," implying a universal scope, the act of worshiping "the King, the Lord of hosts" in Jerusalem could be interpreted as a future scenario where Israel's central role in worship is recognized by all nations, thus still aligning with Israel-specific promises.

Future Fulfillment

The verse describes a future consequence for a specific action, but it does not explicitly state that this future is at the end of the age or at Christ's return; it could refer to a future event within a historical timeline.
