Isaiah 25 · Grade 5

Death Swallowed Up

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 25 responds to the worldwide judgment of chapter 24 with a hymn of thanksgiving. Isaiah praises God for "things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth." God's justice is good news for the weak: he has been "a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat."

The center of the chapter is a banquet. "In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines." The guest list is international. God "will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations." In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of many coming from east and west to feast in the Kingdom (Matthew 8:11), and Revelation 19:9 describes the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Then comes one of the greatest promises in Scripture: "He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces." In the New Testament, Paul quotes it in 1 Corinthians 15:54 as fulfilled in the resurrection of believers through Christ, and Revelation 21:4 repeats the promise of wiped-away tears. The redeemed respond: "Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us!"
