“And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast, &c. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” (Isaiah 25:6-7)
“The seeds of joy and of comfort are sown in tears and grief in this world.
But yet we know we shall reap in joy in the world to come…
Then God will spread a table for His people to all eternity.”
–Richard Sibbes, “The Glorious Feast of the Gospel” in The Works of Richard Sibbes (ed. Alexander Balloch Grosart; Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1638/2001), 2: 458. Sibbes is preaching on Isaiah 25:6-9.
