Isaiah chapter 25 verses 7 through 9.

And if you listen to yesterday's podcast from Isaiah chapter 24,

Isaiah chapter 25 is going to be particularly encouraging.

So verse 7, and he will swallow up on this mountain, the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.

He will swallow up death forever.

And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces.

And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the

earth for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, behold this is our God. We have waited for him that he might save us.

This is the Lord. We have waited for him. Let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Oh, what a promise!

Did you hear that, like death, this shroud that covers all peoples and all nations, is one day going to be swallowed

up forever.

He will swallow up death forever that the Lord God will wipe away tears from all

our faces I just I think about think about death I think about funerals of family members, close friends that I've been to been a part of and

I'm guessing you have like just the pain, the hurt the tears and the good news of

Isaiah chapter 25 is that one day death itself will be no more.

Like no more death.

No more tears that God himself will wipe away the tears from all our faces.

This is what will we wait for.

That's why verse 9 is so important.

Behold, this is our God.
