‘Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 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. 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. 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. ‘ – Isaiah 25:5-8
Isaiah 25 with focus on verse 5 to 8.
Introduction:
The events in Isaiah 25 speak of activities of the LORD Jesus Christ at the time of the end in the life of a BELIEVER.
These verses are prophetic and can be applied to individuals, families, church and indeed the world of mankind. We shall be focusing on the individual in this meditation
We can categorize verses 5 to 8, into 3 major blocks:
● The food has been prepared by the Lord and served.
● Those of His children that hungry and taste for righteousness partakes of this provision.
● There are nine listed intentions of the Father. These are highlighted in verses 5 to 9, that will fully be actualized in the lives of believers, who eat and partake of this meal.
We may ask ourselves, what’s the background of the activities of God at this time of the end? We say emphatically, God comes as a warrior. He come to release His people from servitude and bondage to flesh, worldliness, Satan and death. The Lord Jesus Christ comes to elevate them to the fullness of life as He has ordained and promised [1 Cor 2:7 : Eph 2:10; Gen 1:26]
We have said the Lord Jesus Christ at this time reveal Himself mighty as a warrior. How do we establish this? We shall briefly compare Isaiah 25 verse 1 and 6 with Revelation 19:11.
Isaiah 25:1 KJV — O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth…..Isaiah 25:6 KJV — 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.
Revelation 19:11 KJV — And I saw heaven oapened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
The Lord Jesus Christ comes to execute judgement against our adversaries in righteousness. He does this towards us because He is faithful and true to the full realization of the covenant of promise. This applies to all parts and dimensions of the covenant in your life. This is the picture, not as His first Advent when he came as a Saviour[Lamb]but this second Advent as a Lion Lamb in all His glory, honour and majesty riding upon a white horse.
We will reproduce Isaiah 25:5-8 below for our review :
Isaiah 25:5 KJV — Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
Isaiah 25:6 KJV — 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.
Isaiah 25:7 KJV — 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.
Isaiah 25:8 KJV — 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.
We shall now lists the will and intend of the Father. This is listed according to the verses and not necessarily in the orders at which this actualize in and among His people.
