Isaiah 56:7

even them, no matter from what nation they come, will I bring to My holy mountain, to Zion with its Temple, as representing His holy Church, and make them joyful In My house of prayer, by refreshing them with the blessings of his grace; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon Mine altar, their entire worship being pleasing to Jehovah; for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people, not only the Jews, but the Gentiles as well being included in the membership of His Church. Cf Ephesians 2:19.
