ISAIAH 25:8-9

He will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

---- mine,

Death has been swallowed up forever - dying I destroyed death, rising I restored life. I wipe away tears from all eyes. All who have lost their way will be rescued and saved rejoice and there will be great rejoicing for salvation belongs to all who believe that the Father sent Me into the world not to condemn it but to save it. Keep your gaze fixed on the Cross and remember always that you have been ransomed the debt you owed is paid and you are free to love God as you ought. Remain in My love and pray unceasingly and tirelessly but always with hope for all to know Me and come to the knowledge of Truth. Salvation comes from knowing the One who lay down His lay while you were yet sinners. Rejoice and be glad always and pray with faith and hope knowing that you and all the baptized are sealed in the Holy Spirit by irrevocable bonds of love and are now one with the Triune God. Do not worry do not be anxious do not lose heart, God desires the salvation of all and in due time God will hear and answer you as He has always done. I will never forsake those who are Mine and you, ---- my own, are Mine.
