Isaiah 25
SIBIsaiah 25:1-5
All the desolations which thou hast made in the cities of the heathen are the execution of thy purposes and fulfilment of thy word; and thereby shall the stoutest of thine enemies be obliged to acknowledge thy almighty power and strict justice. And, as thou hast formerly protected and comforted thy people when furiously assaulted and distressed by their powerful enemies, thou shalt continue, with infinite ease, to baffle the most furious attempts of thine adversaries, and to reduce them and their posterity to ruin
Isaiah 25:6-9
In Judea, but chiefly in the firmly-founded and wide-spread gospel church, shall the Lord exhibit, offer to, and bestow on, sinful men of all nations the spiritual and eternal blessings of his new covenant, feast them on the flesh and blood of his Son, remove their ignorance and guilt, redeem them from death, comfort them against grief, remove the tokens of his anger, and enable them to triumph in himself and his salvation
Isaiah 25:10-12
And, while he dwells with, delights in, and protects his people, he shall every where, and with infinite ease, utterly destroy all their enemies; sin, Satan, death, and hell not excepted. REFLECTIONS CPON CHAP. XXV.—Thrice blessed is that people whose God is the Lord; and who have all his persons, perfections, purposes, promises, threatenings, and works, engaged in their behalf! It is wicked, mad, and self-ruinous, for the mightiest powers of hell or earth to injure them, or to attempt their destruction. Why then should not their lips be filled with his praise and honour all the day, who is so much to them, has done, does, can and will do, so much for their salvation in time and eternity? What a ground of grateful praise is it that in Judah’s land, on Calvary’s mount, Jesus prepared himself, and all the fulness of God in him, to be our abundant provision! He finished transgression, and made an end of sin. He, through death, destroyed death and him that had the power of it, and purchased an infinite fulness of light, life, comfort, and salvation, for men. What ground of praise is it that, in the goopel, he sets before sinners of the Gentiles all the fulness of God in himself, for our present and everlasting nourishment! And why not rejoice in him for that he has pledged his infallible promise that heathenism, popery, and every thing sinful and ruinous, shall give place to his glory filling the whole earth, and to his being in heaven our everlasting ALL and IN ALL!
