Isaiah 25:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He The Lord, expressed both in the foregoing and following words, even the Messiah, who is both God and man; will swallow up death Shall, by his death, destroy the power of death, (Hebrews 2:14,) take away the sting of the first death, and prevent the second death, and give eternal life to all that truly believe in him. In victory Hebrew, לנצח, unto victory, that is, so as to overcome it perfectly; which complete victory Christ hath already purchased for, and will, in due time, actually confer upon his people. And will wipe away tears Will take away from his people all sufferings and sorrows, with all the causes of them, which deliverance is begun here and perfected in heaven. The rebuke of his people The reproach and contempt cast upon his faithful people by the ungodly world; shall he take, &c. From all the church and people of God, wheresoever they shall be. For the Lord hath spoken it Therefore doubt it not, though it seem incredible to you.

Isaiah 25:8

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.
