Texts -- Isaiah 25:1-10 (NET)

Context
25:1 O Lord , you are my God ! I will exalt you in praise , I will extol your fame . For you have done extraordinary things , and executed plans made long ago exactly as you decreed. 25:2 Indeed , you have made the city into a heap of rubble, the fortified town into a heap of ruins ; the fortress of foreigners is no longer a city , it will never be rebuilt . 25:3 So a strong nation will extol you; the towns of powerful nations will fear you. 25:4 For you are a protector for the poor , a protector for the needy in their distress , a shelter from the rainstorm , a shade from the heat . Though the breath of tyrants is like a winter rainstorm , 25:5 like heat in a dry land , you humble the boasting foreigners . Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside, so he causes the song of tyrants to cease . 25:6 The Lord who commands armies will hold a banquet for all the nations on this mountain . At this banquet there will be plenty of meat and aged wine – tender meat and choicest wine. 25:7 On this mountain he will swallow up the shroud that is over all the peoples , the woven covering that is over all the nations ; 25:8 he will swallow up death permanently . The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from every face , and remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth . Indeed , the Lord has announced it! 25:9 At that time they will say , “Look , here is our God ! We waited for him and he delivered us. Here is the Lord ! We waited for him. Let’s rejoice and celebrate his deliverance !” 25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure . Moab will be trampled down where it stands , as a heap of straw is trampled down in a manure pile .

Expository Notes on the Bible (Constable)

  • The title of this book of the Bible, as is true of the other prophetical books, comes from its writer. The book claims to have come from Isaiah (1:1; 2:1; 7:3; 13:1; 20:2; 37:2, 6, 21; 38:1, 4, 21; 39:3, 5, 8), and Jesus Chri...
  • Occasional time references scattered throughout the book indicate that Isaiah arranged his prophecies in a basically chronological order (cf. 6:1; 7:1; 14:28; 20:1; 36:1; 37:38). However, they are not completely chronological...

  • Isaiah next tried to move Ahaz to faith (vv. 10-12), then denounced the king for his failure to trust Yahweh (vv. 13-15), and finally forecast a calamity worse than the division of Israel's united kingdom (vv. 16-17).7:10 Evi...
  • The recurrence of the Hebrew word massa', translated "oracle"or "burden,"prescribes the boundaries of this section of text.140These chapters present the nations over which Immanuel is ruler, and they expand the idea of God's ...
