Isaiah 25;1-12
Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.
In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”
The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.
God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands. He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.
Why?
Let us rejoice with all who belong to the Lord, for God is perfect faithfulness and God have done a wonderful thing and planned long ago. It is beyond our imagination.
Surely God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands, and the time is written in God's calendar. What we can do is trust in Him.

神在末日的作為,保護與伸冤
1-5:神為自己的兒女伸冤: 以賽亞沒有因為神的審判而高興。這裏轉變來讚美神,詩人先知讚美神的原因是我們要思考的。什麼奇妙的景象,帶領我走過什麼?賞賜我們什麼?神的忠信誠實神行過奇妙的事!超越個人的私慾,想法
6-8: 除去他們的羞辱:神使用所有強暴之國都轉回歸向神!肥甘設擺筵席,用陳酒和滿髓的肥甘,並澄清的陳酒,設擺筵席,來接待神的子民。將來在天上,我們還是可以享受這些美食,卻不被轄制,不吃也可以。
遮蓋萬民之物:裹屍布要除去,成為活人。
9-12 :神要審判他們的驕傲:我們素來等候他(兩次),看到的是神,重要的不是大餐。我們雖然看不到,但是持續在等候。我們今天所盼望的是神,只是人還有選擇有另外一種選擇,即信的人。摩押人在所居之地是指那不信的人。同樣是神的作為,卻有兩種不同的結果。耶和華的手必按在這山上,是指在第六節擺設筵席的山上。

How?
Praise the Lord and exalt his holy name, there is no one like our God.
