1. Isaiah Chapter 25 The Book of
The end of evil. This chapter brings together two or three texts describing God's victory over evil and sorrow.
After the Lord Jesus comes and ends the Tribulation, He establishes the Kingdom. Chapters 25 and 26 bring us into the Kingdom Age. The King is coming, and there will be the Kingdom of Heaven upon this earth.

2. Isaiah – Chapter 24:2
2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
As with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master: In these comparisons, Isaiah shows that a high station in life (priest master mistress seller) will not protect one from the judgments of the LORD. As well, a low station of life (borrower debtor) will not protect one either. When the judgment of the Great Tribulation comes, it will be complete in its scope!
Some who believe that the church will be left on the earth to endure the Great Tribulation believe that God will miraculously protect Christians during that time, so they face none of the judgments of the LORD, only perhaps persecution from the Antichrist. But this passage reinforces the idea that the judgments of the LORD during the Great Tribulation will be universal in their scope, and that no class of people will be immune from the general judgment of the LORD. Therefore, it makes sense for God to remove as His redeemed before this period of Great Tribulation, so only those who trust in Him during the Great Tribulation have to suffer under these judgments.

3. Isaiah – Chapter 24:5
5The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
Not only the people suffered from their sins; even the land suffered the effects of evil and lawbreaking. Today we see the results of sin in our own land: pollution, crime, addiction, poverty. Sin affects every aspect of society so extensively that even those faithful to God suffer. We cannot blame God for these conditions because sin has brought them about.
Because they have changed the ordinance: The Hebrew word for ordinance here is Torah, which often means the law of God and the word of God. Mankind is ripe for judgment because we have changed God’s word into something “lighter,” into something “more acceptable.”

4. Isaiah – Chapter 25:1-2
1ADONAI, you are my God. I exalt you, I praise your name. For you have accomplished marvels, [fulfilled] ancient plans faithfully and truly.
2For you have made a city a heap of stones, turned a fortified city into rubble, made the foreigners‘ fortress
a city that will never be rebuilt.
Speaking in the first person Isaiah described the situation which will exist when the kingdom is established on the earth.
The prophet reflects a personal knowledge of God; he is a saved person. He exalts and thanks Yahweh his God because He supernaturally and faithfully executed the outworking of plans that He had formulated long before.
The singer is probably Isaiah himself, who projected himself into the future time that he envisioned (cf. chs. 40—66). He spoke for the redeemed of that time, the beginning of the Millennium.
Fourfold Destruction of Babylon 1. You have made of a city a heap You have made a defended city a ruin.
3. You have made a palace of strangers to be no city. 4. It shall never be built.
These statements, especially the last one, identify the ruined city as the future Babylon which will be destroyed under the seventh vial at the end of this age

5. Isaiah – Chapter 25:3-4 3Therefore mighty peoples glorify you,
the city of ruthless nations fears you.
4For you have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in distress,
shelter from the storm, shade from the heat-for the blast from the ruthless
was like a storm that could destroy a wall.
Strong people and groups of ruthless individuals will fear God and respect Him for what He has done. They will not necessarily become believers in Him, but they will acknowledge that He has done great things (cf. Rev. 9:20-21).
Four Things God Has Been to Men (Isa. 25:4): 1. Strength to the poor in poverty 2. Strength to the needy in distress 3. A refuge from the storm 4. A shadow from the heat
When the Lord will establish His kingdom on the earth, a reversal of fortunes will occur. The poor (dal, "feeble, weak, helpless") and the needy (ʾeb̠yôn, "oppressed") will be rescued and the ruthless will be stilled. God's care for the poor and the needy is mentioned many times in the Old and New Testaments. The reversal of fortunes, in which those who depend on God are helped and those who depend on themselves are judged, is a major theme of Scripture

6. Isaiah – Chapter 25:5-6
5Like desert heat, you subdue the foreigners' uproar; like heat subdued by a cloud's shadow, the song of the ruthless dies away. 6On this mountain ADONAI-Tzva'ot will make for all peoples a feast of rich food and superb wines, delicious, rich food and superb, elegant wines.
As heat in a dry place: In Hebrew the word for dry place is Zion. The Hebrew text reads "in Zion" The Septuagint does not translate this "dry place" as all other English versions read, that is "heat in a dry place" It reads "those thirsting in Zion“
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things.
Isaiah seemed to glory in the fact that the Messiah and His program were to be for all nations, not just the Jews (Isa. 25:6; 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1,6; 49:6,22; 54:8; 60:3-5,11,16; 61:6,9; 62:2; 66:12,19). Here is a marvelous prophecy of "all the people of the world"—Gentiles and Jews together—at God's messianic feast, celebrating the overthrow of evil and the joy of eternity with God. It shows that God intended his saving message to go out to the whole world, not just to the Jews.

7. Isaiah – Chapter 25:7-8 7On this mountain he will destroy
the veil which covers the face of all peoples, the veil enshrouding all the nations. 8He will swallow up death forever. Adonai ELOHIM will wipe away the tears from every face, and he will remove from all the earth the disgrace his people suffer. for ADONAI has spoken.
The Lord will also remove the curse of death that has hung over humankind since the Fall. This will occur at the end of the Millennium, after the final rebellion and God's creation of new heavens and a new earth. Isaiah's vision of the future followed the course of events that later revelation clarified,
This verse is quoted by Paul in 1Corinthians 15:54, which says, "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

8. Isaiah – Chapter 25:9-10
9On that day they will say, "See! This is our God! We waited for him to save us.
This is ADONAI; we put our hope in him. We are full of joy, so glad he saved us!“ 10For on this mountain the hand of ADONAI will rest. But Mo'av will be trampled down where they are, like straw trampled into a pile of manure.
As we come to the final stanza, attention is drawn to the person of God. It is with Him that men have to do. The world will be deceived by Antichrist, but the real Christ, the real Messiah, the real Ruler of this earth will come. His salvation is going to be vital to man in that day. Man "will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.“
Moab was a symbol of all who oppose God and are rebellious to the end. Moab was Israel's enemy for years (see the note on 15:1).
They are in a manure pit.

9. Isaiah – Chapter 25:11-12
11They will spread out their hands in Mo'av, like a swimmer using his hands to tread water; but their pride will be humbled and sunk, no matter how clever the strokes of their hands. 12Your high, fortified walls he will level,
strike to the ground, lay in the dust.
The text is still speaking of a personified Moab in the watery manure in which he will find himself swimming. This must describe the view that YHWH holds of the life style of the Moabites which they will find themselves in at the time of their destruction.
All the pride of man will be brought down. This is the period when the meek shall inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5). The meek are not doing too well in our day!
Chapter 26 continues the Kingdom theme.
