These verse link the last few verses with the last days. God will restore the fortunes of Jerusalem, and bring them back from captivity. He will also gather all nations to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat means "the Lord judges", the Lord will judge the nations. This is a common them, namely that God will gather the enemies of His people. Their enemies will think they have come to claim victory, but it will turn out that God has called them to see Him bless His people (Ps 23:5). The nations would be judged for the way they had abused the people of Israel, particularly the children. The nations that attacked Israel will suffer themselves what they inflicted on the people of Israel.
