Isaiah 25
1. Song of Praise for God's Favor














On this mountain
The phrase "On this mountain" refers to Mount Zion, a significant location in biblical history and prophecy. In the Hebrew context, mountains often symbolize places of divine revelation and encounter. Mount Zion, in particular, is seen as the spiritual center of God's kingdom, representing His presence and authority. Historically, it is the site of Jerusalem, the city of David, and the location of the temple, making it a focal point for worship and divine promise. This mountain is not just a physical location but a symbol of God's ultimate plan for redemption and restoration.

the LORD of Hosts
The title "the LORD of Hosts" emphasizes God's sovereignty and power. In Hebrew, "Yahweh Sabaoth" conveys the image of God as the commander of heavenly armies, underscoring His supreme authority over all creation. This title reassures believers of God's ability to fulfill His promises and protect His people. It reflects a God who is not distant but actively involved in the affairs of the world, orchestrating events for His divine purposes.

will prepare
The action "will prepare" indicates God's intentional and personal involvement in the unfolding of His plan. It suggests a future event that is certain and divinely orchestrated. The Hebrew verb used here conveys a sense of careful planning and provision, highlighting God's role as a provider who meets the needs of His people. This preparation is not just for sustenance but for celebration, pointing to a time of joy and fulfillment.

a banquet
The term "a banquet" signifies a grand feast, a common biblical metaphor for abundance, blessing, and fellowship. In ancient Near Eastern culture, banquets were occasions for celebration and community, often marking significant events. This imagery is used to depict the Messianic age, a time when God will gather His people for a joyous celebration of His kingdom. It symbolizes the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the restoration of His creation.

for all the peoples
The phrase "for all the peoples" highlights the inclusivity of God's invitation. It reflects the universal scope of God's salvation plan, extending beyond Israel to encompass all nations. This is a recurring theme in Isaiah, where the prophet envisions a future where God's kingdom is open to all who seek Him. It underscores the message of hope and redemption available to every person, regardless of their background or ethnicity.

a feast of aged wine
"A feast of aged wine" represents the finest and most luxurious provision. In biblical times, aged wine was a symbol of wealth and celebration, reserved for special occasions. This imagery conveys the richness and abundance of God's blessings in the Messianic age. It also points to the joy and satisfaction found in God's presence, where He provides not just for physical needs but for the deepest longings of the human heart.

of choice meat
The phrase "of choice meat" further emphasizes the quality and abundance of the feast. In the ancient world, meat was a luxury, often associated with festive occasions and sacrifices. This imagery suggests a time of peace and prosperity, where God's people will enjoy His bountiful provision. It also alludes to the sacrificial system, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who provides spiritual nourishment and life.

of finely aged wine
The repetition of "finely aged wine" reinforces the idea of abundance and excellence. It suggests a double portion of blessing, highlighting the overflowing generosity of God. This imagery is a foretaste of the heavenly banquet, where believers will experience the fullness of joy and communion with God. It serves as a reminder of the hope and promise of eternal life, where God's people will dwell in His presence forever.

(6) And in this mountain shall the Lord . . .--The mountain is, as in Isaiah 2:1, the hill of Zion, the true representative type of the city of God. True to what we may call the catholicity of his character, Isaiah looks forward to a time when the outlying heathen nations shall no longer be excluded from fellowship with Israel, but shall share in its sacrificial feasts even as at the banquet of the great King. In the Hebrew, as even in the English, the rhythm flows on like a strain of music appropriate to such a feast. The "wines on the lees" are those that have been allowed to ripen and clarify in the cask, and so, like the "fat things full of marrow," represent the crowning luxuries of an Eastern banquet.

Verses 6-8. - The blessings of the final state are now touched upon, as a special subject for thanksgiving. They are not enumerated; but a certain number are set forth, as specimens from which we may form a conception of the general condition of the "saved." These are:

(1) a heavenly feast, in which they will all participate (ver. 6);

(2) a removal of the "veil," or "covering," which is in this life over all things, causing men to have an indistinct vision, and an erroneous estimate of their value;

(3) the abolition of death, which will no longer hang over them as a thing to be feared; and . . .
