Scripture lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 Swallow up death
Time to reflect: There are some nice quotes in this passage, but the overall meaning of the passage is that Israel will be restored. That happened (from Isaiah's perspective) millennia ago. As far as a prediction being fulfilled, that is a thing of the past. However, the reason these passages are kept in the Bible is that they illustrate God's faithfulness and love. It is a comfort and encouragement to us to know that God took care of Israel so long ago. We can expect God to take care of us in the same way.
Moving Through The Day: Give a prayer of thanksgiving that God has this kind of extreme faithful caring toward us.
On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove the disgrace of his people
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
In that day they will say,
"Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
