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. Isaiah 25:7-8
I return to my deep dive of Isaiah, based on the Precept Upon Precept study series. Today, on Lesson 9, Day 5, the focus continues with Isaiah 25, where we see, primarily - God uncovering the veil that prevents us from experiencing the fullness of God. My commentary indicates that "Isaiah 25:6-9 is one of the clearest predictions in the Old Testament of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." The commentary describes how the "covering" and "veil" is both physical and spiritual death (shame/guilt), and how the resurrection of Christ and Jesus' victory over sin and death allows us to fully experience God by "removing the disgrace of his people from the whole earth." Isaiah 25:6 also describes a lavish feast hosted by God celebrating this victory over sin and death - how appropriate and timely for Easter!
