A little known prophecy

The busier we get, the harder it is to maintain our Bible knowledge.  Regular deposits of truth can help keep our focus.  I recently ran across a prophecy I had forgotten and want to share it.  Isaiah lived at least 6 centuries before Christ was born.  His poetic prose is engaging and his prophetic accuracy is faith-building.  The verse is in Isaiah 25:8, When he has swallowed up death once and for all, the Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face and remove his people’s disgrace from the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken.(lbs)
That is such a significant statement!  What Christ did at the cross was permanent, and His resurrection made it perpetual! It's also reminiscent of what Paul says at the end of his great chapter on the resurrection.  I'm thinking of one great phrase "Death has been swallowed up in victory!" (1 Corinthians 15:54) What a wonder and what a joy.  What God promised and Isaiah understood, came to pass as Jesus redeemed the world by His death and resurrection. As one of my good friends is known for saying:  Since Jesus is alive, every day is Easter! Praise God!
