In chapter 25 of his book, Isaiah foretells a time of jubilation, communion, and resurrection.  His words come alive in the context of the work & ministry of the Messiah Jesus Christ. In light of this, the apostle Paul cites a passage from Isaiah’s prophecy in the resurrection crescendo chapter of his 1st letter to Corinth.  These words first appeared in the midst of a reckoning oracle addressing enemies of the purposes and people of God. Isaiah 25 shines like prophetic sun rays through the storm clouds of judgment in the book of Isaiah. Verse 5 implies that the song of redemption in this chapter will increasingly be amplified until it overpowers the erstwhile jubilant voices of every last enemy. The songs of the ruthless in a world captive to sin are finally drowned out by the worship music of the redeemed! Let us join with our own voices inspired by these two glorious passages
