All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
All the nations whom God has made shall come and worship before Him and shall glorify His name. In its setting, this universal worship follows the affirmation that no other god is like Jehovah and that He alone does wondrous things. All nations means the saved, described as the people to be created, not every person who has ever lived. It does not mean that every nation becomes Christian in the present world.
The nations are those created anew through the change and resurrection of the saved. Those saved are counted as Israel and Abraham's heirs who inherit the renewed earth. The promise points to the time when the earth and its inhabitants are renewed and all the saved come to worship on the new earth.
That fulfillment comes beyond sin, strife, death, and judgment, when Christ reigns eternally and the saved nations live in God's light. This worship is distinct from the universal confession at Christ's judgment seat, where some acknowledge God too late.
