Isaiah 25: the Lord will swallow up death forever

 In Isaiah 24, the Lord is praised for his right judgments:


3 Superpowers will see it and honor you,

    brutal oppressors bow in worshipful reverence.

They’ll see that you take care of the poor,

    that you take care of poor people in trouble,

Provide a warm, dry place in bad weather,

    provide a cool place when it’s hot.



The Lord will wellcome the faithful:


6 But here on this mountain, God-of-the-Angel-Armies

    will throw a feast for all the people of the world,

A feast of the finest foods, a feast with vintage wines,

    a feast of seven courses, a feast lavish with gourmet desserts.


The Lord will destroy Death:


8 He will swallow up death forever.

    Adonay Yahweh will wipe away tears from every face,

    and he will remove the disgrace of his people from the whole earth.

        Yahweh has spoken.
