Will all nations be drawn to Jerusalem when the Messiah's kingdom is set up?

Yes. Scripture says in the last days the mountain of the Lord's house—symbolizing the kingdom—will be established above all kingdoms, and all nations shall flow into it. Once Israel's Messiah sets up His throne in Jerusalem, the nations will be drawn there like a magnet draws steel.

Les explains that in Old Testament symbolism a mountain stands for a kingdom, so Isaiah 2's “mountain of the Lord's house” refers to the kingdom of the Lord's house, that royal line coming from David. In the last days it will be established as the top kingdom of the kingdoms and exalted above the hills, the smaller kingdoms. Once Israel's Messiah would come and set up His throne and kingdom in the city of Jerusalem, all the nations of the world would be brought there, drawn just about like a magnet drawing steel.

Isaiah 2:2

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
