Scripture Text: Isaiah 25:6 On this mountain Adonai-Tzva’ot
will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food and superb wines,
delicious, rich food and superb, elegant wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the veil which covers the face of all peoples,
the veil enshrouding all the nations.
8 He will swallow up death forever.
Adonai Elohim will wipe away
the tears from every face,
and he will remove from all the earth
the disgrace his people suffer.
For Adonai has spoken.
9 On that day they will say,
“See! This is our God!
We waited for him to save us.
This is Adonai ; we put our hope in him.
We are full of joy, so glad he saved us!”

John Wesley's Notes-Commentary: Isaiah 25:6-9
Verse 6
[6] And 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.
And — In mount Zion, in God's church.
All people — Both Jews and Gentiles.
A feast — A feast made up of the most delicate provisions, which is manifestly meant of the ordinances, graces, and comforts given by God in his church.
Of wines — Which have continued upon the lees a competent time, whereby they gain strength, and are afterwards drawn off, and refined.
Verse 7
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
The face — The covering of the face.
The veil — The ignorance of God, and of the true religion, which then was upon the Gentiles, and now is upon the Jews.
Verse 8
[8] 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 he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
He — Christ will by his death destroy the power of death, take away the sting of the first death, and prevent the second.
In victory — Heb. unto victory; so as to overcome it perfectly; which complete victory Christ hath already purchased for, and will in due time actually confer upon his people.
Rebuke — The reproach and contempt cast upon his faithful people by the ungodly world.
Verse 9
[9] 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.
Our God — Our Messiah, long since promised, and for whom we have waited long, is come into the world, bringing salvation with him.
