Sunday School Chronicle Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces… Tennyson tells, in the "Idylls of the King," of a knight who fought with death. And when he had overcome him and pierced through his ghastly trappings, "there issued the bright face of a blooming boy." So Christ has conquered death for us, and, penetrating its terror, has brought, not death, but "life and immortality to light." (Sunday School Chronicle.) Parallel Verses KJV: He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. |
