He Will Swallow Up Death in Victory
By: Robert A. Searles
 
What a wonderful promise and consolation we have from God our father through the Lord Jesus Christ that: "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 be taken away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it." Isaiah 25: 8

The day will come when God will completely fulfill this promise when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns to earth to claim his throne. He is the righteous King to whom all creation belongs. When he comes, death will be abolished, and the sting of death swallowed up in victory. There will be no more need for tears, for in his reign and kingdom there will be no sorrow. His people will no longer be looked upon as the down trodden and outcast of the earth. On the contrary, they will rule and reign with him forever.

"And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation." Isaiah 25:9

Those of us who have called upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save us have the witness of the Holy Spirit within us which causes us to rejoice in our salvation. We know that all of God's promises are true. We wait patiently and longingly for the great day of the Lord to come, and for Jesus to be crowned King of kings and Lord of lords.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
