It underscores a communal responsibility to share God’s name and praise, reflecting the central role of divine worship and testimony in the life of the faithful community.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

When the people are gathered together -When they shall be brought from their dispersion in distant lands; when they shall assemble again in the city of their fathers, and when public worship shall be celebrated there as in former ages. And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord -The Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate render this, “kings.” The reference must be to the time when those of other lands - kings and their people - would be converted to the true religion; when the Gentiles as well as the Jews, then one undistinguished people, would be brought to the knowledge of the true God, and would unite in his worship. See the notes atIsaiah 60:0.
