Jesaja 25:9

9 En men zal te dien dage zeggen: Ziet, Deze is onze God; wij hebben Hem verwacht, en Hij zal ons zalig maken. Deze is de HEERE, wij hebben Hem verwacht, wij zullen ons verheugen en verblijden in Zijn zaligheid.

Jesaja 25:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 25:9

And it shall be said in that day
When the feast will be made for all the Lord's people; when the veil and covering shall be removed; when death will be swallowed up in victory; when all tears shall be wiped away from the saints; when their rebuke shall be taken away from them; all which will be at the glorious appearing of Christ. Lo, this [is] our God;
and not the idols of the Gentiles, or the works of their hands; but Christ, who is God over all, blessed for ever; Immanuel, God with us: the phrase is expressive of his true and proper deity, of faith of interest in him, and of the joy of it: we have waited for him, and he will save us:
as the Old Testament saints waited for his first coming, and for his salvation, believing that he would be the author of it: so New Testament saints are waiting for his second coming; and to them that look for him, and expect his glorious appearing, who have their loins girt, and their lights burning, and wait for their Lord's coming, will he appear a second time without sin unto salvation; to put them into the possession of salvation he has obtained for them, for which they are heirs, and is nearer than when they believed: this [is] the Lord, we have waited for him;
looking, longing, and hasting to the day of his coming; this they will say, when they shall see him coming in the clouds of heaven; whither the living saints being changed, will be caught up to meet him, and upon meeting him shall thus greet him, and one another: we will be glad, and rejoice in his salvation;
so suitable to them, so full, complete, and perfect, and so much for the glory of God; which was wrought out by him before, and now possessed by them; and is what is called the "joy" of their "Lord", they now "enter" into, ( Matthew 25:21 ) .

Jesaja 25:9 In-Context

7 En Hij zal op dezen berg verslinden het bewindsel des aangezichts, waarmede alle volken bewonden zijn, en het deksel, waarmede alle natien bedekt zijn.

8 Hij zal den dood verslinden tot overwinning, en de Heere HEERE zal de tranen van alle aangezichten afwissen; en Hij zal de smaadheid Zijns volks van de ganse aarde wegnemen; want de HEERE heeft het gesproken.

9 En men zal te dien dage zeggen: Ziet, Deze is onze God; wij hebben Hem verwacht, en Hij zal ons zalig maken. Deze is de HEERE, wij hebben Hem verwacht, wij zullen ons verheugen en verblijden in Zijn zaligheid.

10 Want de hand des HEEREN zal op dezen berg rusten; maar Moab zal onder Hem verdorst worden, gelijk het stro verdorst wordt tot mest.

11 En Hij zal Zijn handen uitbreiden in het midden van hen, gelijk als een zwemmer die uitbreidt om te zwemmen, en Hij zal hun hoogmoed vernederen met de lagen hunner handen.
