Isaiah 25

Response. Argument 1. By Scripture (John 6:44): I will raise him up at the last day. Isaiah 25:8. He will swallow up death in victory. That is, by delivering our bodies from the captivity of the grave, wherein death for a time had power over them (1 Thessalonians 4:14).

He neither slumbers nor sleeps. 7. He thinks nothing too good to part with to his children: He gives them the kidneys of the wheat, and honey out of the rock, and wine on the lees well refined (Isaiah 25:6). He gives them three jewels more worth than heaven, the blood of his Son…

How could we taste this honey of joy, if we were not sometimes in affliction? Again, God has promised to wipe away tears from our eyes (Isaiah 25:8). How could God wipe away our tears in Heaven, if we never shed any?

All the Song reports great things of the kingdom of grace. Ask of Isaiah, What saw you there, he answers, (Isaiah 25:6) It is a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees of fat things full of marrow. And Ezekiel says, That there shall be a brave summer in that land.

Some feed ordinarily on the fat and marrow of the Lord's house (Psalm 63:5). And there is 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 25:6). And has not the King a banqueting house, a wine cellar (S…

For sometimes God gives not only a comfortable but a glorious issue. There is nothing lost by waiting on providence, though we abide the blows of Satan for a while, yet abide them; God is — it may be — preparing the greater mercy for you (Isaiah 25:9): "And it shall be said in t…

(2.) Afflictive Providences have not accomplished that design upon our hearts they were sent for, when we are so earnest and impatient for a change of them; and till then the rod must not be taken off, Isaiah 10:12 (3.) The more prayers and searchings of heart come between our w…

Christ called her to eat and drink abundantly, to be filled with his love. See the like Isaiah 25:6. So Job's children were eating and drinking wine, that is, they were at a plentiful and solemn feast that day.

First, the King here spoken of is Christ, as was cleared (verse 4). His Table or feasting-house is the Gospel (Proverbs 9:1, etc.), where the feast of fat things is prepared (Isaiah 25:6). His sitting at his Table, or her sitting with him at it, imports familiar fellowship with…

"Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously." There is a kind of a veil now cast over the greater part of the world, which keeps them in darkness: but then this ve…

When God had once written Loammi upon Israel, the next news is this, I will recover my wool and my flax (Hosea 2:9). (5) And lastly, to come up to the very case in hand, they lose with it their spiritual food and soul-subsistence; for the Gospel is their feast of fat things (Isa…

First, the choice mercies of God are communicated to his people: If you would have any share in Gods choice mercies, his peculiar mercies, come amongst Gods people, join with them: as that place is observable in Psalm 134:3 The Lord that made Heaven and earth, bless you out of S…

None eat of this banquet but such as wait at the table. Isaiah 25:6, 9: In this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines well refined; and it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him; we will be gla…

1. Because when Christ says (John 5:4), "The believer has passed from death" — as it is a curse — "and shall never come to judgment and condemnation," he cannot mean that they have half passed from the curse, and half not. 2. Believers are delivered, in Christ, from the victory,…

No doubt, Christ God-Man is in Covenant with God, being a person designed from eternity, with his own consent, and in time yielding to that, and yet he stands not in that covenant-relation that we stand in: as we shall hear. Argument 1. What argument does prove that there is a p…

And the continuation of this veil on the revelation of the glory of Christ, while a veil of ignorance and blindness was upon their hearts and minds, proved the ruin of that church in its apostasy, as the apostle declares (2 Corinthians 3:7–14). This double veil God promised to r…

5 It is comfort in case of the Saints' sufferings; The Church of God is exposed in this life to many injuries, but she has an Husband in heaven, that is mindful of her, and will turn her waters into wine; now it is a time of mourning with the Spouse, because the Bridegroom is ab…

Now how could this equality have stood together, unless he had been the same God whose name is Jah and Jehovah: that rides upon the Cherubim, that is king of all the earth and Lord of the worlds? Now however they babble against it, it cannot be taken from Christ which Isaiah say…

Pliable: This is very pleasant; and what else? Christian: There shall be no more crying, nor sorrow; for he that is owner of the place will wipe all tears from our eyes (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 7:16, 17; 21:4). Pliable: And what company shall we have there?

Who are these that fly as Doves to the windows? The gracious soul flies as a Dove to an Ordinance, upon the wings of delight; The Sacrament is his delight: On this day the Lord makes a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the Lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on t…

Christ rides into the Believer's heart in these chariots. Ordinances are convivium pinguium, the feast of fat things, Isaiah 25.6. The soul feasts with Christ here, Canticles 2.4.

When a man daily seeks the face of God for pardon of sin and peace of conscience, the heart of such an one shall daily rejoice. Secondly, daily to remember the Lord, is to wait upon him, and that brings continual rejoicing (Isaiah 25:9). In that day it shall be said, Lo, this is…

The great danger of not appearing openly to acknowledge, rejoice in, and promote that great work of God, in bringing in that glorious harvest, is represented in (Zechariah 14:16-19): "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left, of all the nations, which come against…
