Your Name Is Written In The Book Of Life

ISAIAH 25:6-8
“And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬

Here is a much needed encouraging prophecy of "all the people of the earth". Jews and gentiles together at God's delicious feast, celebrating the overthrow of evil and the joy of a wonderful life of eternity with God.
No matter what the devil and his corrupt people throw at us, we believers can rejoice in the fact that our individual names are written in God’s book of life.
This shows that God’s intended saving message is for everyone in the whole world, not just the Jews. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
During the feast, God will end death forever. Yes! All those Spirit filled believers who have been living by faith will participate in this great feast. That is why they say, "This is our God. We trusted him, and “He will save us" (25:9). See chapter 55 for another presentation of this wonderful feast.
Our God always does what He says. It is comforting to know that God's plans and activities are closely tied to His Word. When we pray according to God's will as expressed in the Bible, and claim His promises as recorded in the Bible, He hears and answers our request.
Part of verse 8 is also quoted in 1 CORINTHIANS 15:54 to describe Christ's victory over death. God's ultimate victory is seen when our ultimate enemy, death is defeated (see also HOSEA23:14).
REVELATION 21:4 also quotes part of verse 8, which describes the glorious scene of God's presence with His people.
Life can be taunting as we go through our daily trials, challenges, and tribulations; but their is encouraging truth for all believers to cling to, that this life is temporary, and the best is yet to come.
“And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
