Where will many people and strong nations come to seek the Lord of hosts according to Zechariah 8?

According to Zechariah 8, many people and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. The inhabitants of many cities will say, “Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord” and will invite others to go also.

Les explains from Zechariah 8:20-23 that the inhabitants of many cities and one city would go to another, urging, “Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts.” Many people and strong nations would come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and pray before Him.
