The "house of the God of Jacob" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with the patriarchs.

This reflects the historical role of Jerusalem as the spiritual center of Israel. The law going forth signifies the spread of God's truth and justice, fulfilling the prophetic vision of a world governed by God's righteous standards.and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. The "word of the LORD" represents God's revealed will and prophetic message. Jerusalem, as the city of David and the site of the temple, is the focal point of God's revelation.
