God Will Swallow Up Death Forever

Isa 25:1  LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. 

Isa 25:2  You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners' stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. 

Isa 25:3  Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you. 

Isa 25:4  You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall 

Isa 25:5  and like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled. 

Isa 25:6  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. 

Isa 25:7  On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; 

Isa 25:8  he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. 

Isa 25:9  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." 

Isa 25:10  The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain
