7. Even them--(Ep 2:11-13).
to my holy mountain--Jerusalem, the seat of the Lord's throne in His coming kingdom (Is 2:2; Jr 3:17).
joyful--(Ro 5:11).
burnt offerings ... sacrifices--spiritual, of which the literal were types (Ro 12:1; He 13:15; 1Pe 2:5).
accepted--(Ep 1:6).
altar--(He 13:10), spiritually, the Cross of Christ, which sanctifies our sacrifices of prayer and praise.
house ... for all people--or rather, "peoples." No longer restricted to one favored people (Mal 1:11; Joh 4:21, 23; 1Ti 2:8). To be fully realized at the second coming (Is 2:2-4). No longer literal, but spiritual sacrifice, namely, "prayer" shall be offered (Psa 141:2; 51:17; Mal 1:11; Mt 21:13).
