Summary

Isaiah 25:1–5 – Praise for God’s Faithful Plans

What happens: Isaiah praises God for doing wonders planned long ago. He has turned strong cities into ruins and become a refuge for the poor. Storms break, but God is a shelter.

What it means: God is faithful to His wise plans and defends the weak. His justice levels pride, and His mercy protects the humble. Worship answers His character.

Isaiah 25:6–8 – The Great Feast and Death Defeated

What happens: On God’s mountain a feast for all peoples is set with rich food and aged wine. God removes the shroud over the nations and swallows up death. He wipes away tears and removes His people’s disgrace.

What it means: God’s salvation is generous and global. He conquers death, revealing His steadfast love. In Christ this promise reaches fullness when death is defeated.

Isaiah 25:9–12 – We Wait for Him; The Proud Brought Low

What happens: God’s people say, “This is our God; we waited for Him.” Moab is brought low, and high walls collapse. God’s hand rests on His mountain.

What it means: Faith waits for the Lord and finds joy when He acts. God humbles the proud and secures His people. Hope grows by trusting His timing.

Application

  • Praise God for plans that protect the poor and confront pride.
  • Receive the invitation to God’s feast and hope in Christ’s victory over death.
  • Practice patient faith while God brings down false strength.

Bible

1O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

2For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

3Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

4For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

5Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

6And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people 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.

7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

8He 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 he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

9And 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.

10For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

12And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
