| Isaiah 25:8 | He shall cast death down headlong for ever: *and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face; and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. Apocalypse 7:17.; Apocalypse 21:4. | Ever. Hebrew, "he shall swallow up death in victory," 1 Corinthians 15:54. Christ, by dying, conquered death, and rescued us from its power, if we do not voluntarily subject ourselves to it again. This was faintly represented by the liberation of the captives. |
