Now the Lord of armies will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,
And refined, aged wine.
⁷ And on this mountain He will destroy the covering which is over all peoples,
The veil which is stretched over all nations.
⁸ He will swallow up death for all time,
And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the disgrace of His people from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
⁹ And it will be said on that day,
“Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
Let’s rejoice and be glad in His salvation.

Isaiah 25:6-9

I long for the day when all the earth will know you are King. The lies about you are finally dispelled, once and for all. The misunderstandings about your nature disintegrated into nothing.

I long for the day when all death and pain and suffering will be no more. When there will be not even one iota of grief and torment to be sniffed from miles and miles away.

I long for the day when shame and disgrace will be wiped from our lives for good. There will be no more hiding from you. There will be no more evil. And no more guilt from choosing that evil.

I long for the day when the waiting ends. When my heart can finally be at ease, fully in your presence.
