What is the significance of the Messiah being the 'Desire of All Nations'?

The title 'Desire of All Nations' attributed to the Messiah illustrates the deep, intrinsic longing for hope, redemption, and guidance that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Prior to Christ's coming, various nations expressed a longing for a savior, indicating an innate recognition of their need for divine intervention (Micah 6:6). This deep-seated desire aligns with God's plan to reach all humanity, as seen in Christ’s teachings and ministry that extended beyond the Jewish people to all nations. The New Testament fulfills this by portraying Christ not only as the savior of Israel but also as a light to the Gentiles, bringing forth a comprehensive salvation that echoes throughout history—fulfilling ancient expectations and shedding light on the inherent needs within every human heart.
