Isaiah 25:6 “And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.”
Through Divine Revelation, Isaiah prophesied of the coming Messiah, appearance of His Kingdom, and building of His Church. The Psalmist wrote of great rejoicing at the coming of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God; he wrote, “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalms 118:24). In these verses, Isaiah illustrates the pure joy that the Children of God would experience at His coming; that is, the Children of God of “all people”, “people” to include both Israelites and Gentiles of every nation. The physical place of His coming was Mount Zion, located “at Jerusalem in mount Moriah” (II Chronicles 3:1). The Spiritual Place of His coming was to “the mountain of the LORD’S house” (Isaiah 2:2); that is, the Lord’s Church. The Apostle declared it this way, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” (Hebrews 12:22); and refers to it as “Jerusalem which is above” (Galatians 4:26) and the “Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16). So great was the rejoicing that, upon His victorious, triumphant entry into Jerusalem, His “people” “Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (John 12:13). At the Lord’s appointed “day”, the Lord came and “finished” (John 19:30) everything necessary to ‘save’ “his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Therefore, even now, let us “rejoice and be glad in” that Blessed and Holy “day”, the “day” of our Lord’s Victory Over Our Sin!
