Ésaïe 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 ) .

Ésaïe 25:9 In-Context

7 Et il enlèvera, sur cette montagne, le voile qui couvre la face de tous les peuples, la couverture étendue sur toutes les nations.
8 Il détruira la mort pour jamais; le Seigneur, l'Éternel, essuiera les larmes de tous les visages, et fera disparaître de toute la terre l'opprobre de son peuple; car l'Éternel a parlé.
9 Et l'on dira, en ce jour-là: Voici, il est notre Dieu; nous avons espéré en lui, et il nous sauve. C'est l'Éternel; nous avons espéré en lui: égayons-nous, et nous réjouissons de son salut!
10 Car la main de l'Éternel reposera sur cette montagne; mais Moab sera foulé sur place, comme on foule la paille dans les eaux du fumier.
11 Là il étendra les mains, comme le nageur les étend pour nager; mais l'Éternel abaissera son orgueil et tout l'effort de ses bras.
