Zechariah 14:16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Those who remain from every nation that waged war against Jerusalem will journey there annually to honor the King, the Lord of hosts, and to observe the festival of shelters. Jerusalem thus illustrates a central location to which people from all regions could come together for worship. Battle Creek does not hold that kind of standing as a gathering place.
