"He will swallow up death forever," Isaiah 25:8.
God will. That's who. Jehovah God. And on that day he will wipe every tear from every face. He will sweep away his people's shame from all the earth. On that day, God will swallow up the death-pall that covers all nations. (And how do we know this? The Lord has spoken!) On the now barren mountain the Lord of armies will banquet all peoples richly with his feast and supernal drink. And on that day people will say: This. is. our. God! We waited for him! We waited for his salvation! God's salvation champions our joy!
We visit with a brother or sister today in reminder of the hope we share in Christ. And, together, we give joyful thanks to God in anticipation of his faithfulness.
