Isaiah
25:6
6 And in this mountain [har] shall the LORD [Y@hovah] of hosts [tsaba'] make [`asah] unto all
people [`am] a feast [mishteh] of fat things [shemen], a
feast [mishteh] of wines on the lees [shemer], of fat things [shemen]
full of marrow [machah], of wines on the lees [shemer] well refined [zaqaq]. KJV-Interlinear
6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will
make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich
food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. ESV
And as for those
who are obedient to God, which means obedience in accordance with Gods
standards, not in accordance with mans standards, for most people do their own
thing and not Gods will. But anyway, for
those who abide by Gods will, then there is blessing beyond imagination.
And here the best
of the best is described.
A feast is a
banquet. Everything is cooked, baked,
prepared to perfection. You do not have
to do any of the preparation, nor any of the cleanup afterward. Blessings come from God already ready. And they come in great abundance. There are no shortages.
As for the wines,
the word for lees, refers to the best of the best. Lees well refined, is a reference to the finest
of aged wines.
The whole point
here is that the quality is far beyond anything that is available in this
world, by this world.
Gods kitchen is of
the highest quality. Gods blessings are
gifts and they are the best of the best and better than the best.
So, in all of
these prophecies which we have been studying in Isaiah, there is an obvious
difference between pursuing the world and pursuing Gods will.
The world is
corruption and destruction and worse.
Gods way is
blessing and more blessing and even more than that forever.
How could anyone
not choose God? How could anyone ignore
their daily study?
