What Does Psalms 102:15 Mean?
When God acts to restore Zion, the entire world will witness it. The heathen (non-Israelite nations) and the kings of the earth—those outside the covenant community—will fear God's name. This is not conversion but recognition of divine power and sovereignty.
The restoration of one city becomes a sign of God's glory to all nations. What seemed like the defeat of God when Zion lay in ruins becomes proof of His incomparable power when He restores her. His reputation depends on His care for His people.
