The verse states, “For all people will walk every one in the name of his God, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.”

As the context shows, this verse will be fulfilled after Christ has returned to earth and ended all wars. All nations, both large and small, will be subject to Christ’s rulership and rebuking. They will convert their instruments of war into tools for agricultural (Micah 4:3). War will no longer be fought anywhere on earth. And happiness, peace and prosperity will be known throughout all humanity (vs. 4).

Through Christ’s headquarters at Jerusalem, people will receive true and proper education. They will worship the TRUE God in their own language—“the name of his God.” The Israelis will worship in their own language—“we will walk in…our God.” While they may use their native languages, all will be worshipping the same God.

Also, all people and nations will be taught a new language. This pure language will allow everyone to communicate with one another (Zeph. 3:9). Their native language will exist side by side with a single universal language—as is the case with English throughout the world today.
