HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH FOREVER. Isaiah 25:8

When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

"Death is swallowed up in victory." 1 Cor. 15:54

And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces,

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Rev. 21:4

And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.

"DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY." 1 Cor. 15:54

Psalmist

The gaze of death . . .

Psalm 39:13 - Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength, before I go away and am no more.

The illustration . . .

A fable is told of a Baghdad merchant who sent his servant to the market to pick up some goods for him. While the servant was making the purchases in the market place he found himself face to face with Death! In great fear he returned to his master and told him that Death had given him a menacing look and that he must have a horse so he could escape to Samara, a city some distance away. The master quickly gave his servant a horse, then went to the market place to find Death. When he found him he asked, "Why did you give my servant a menacing look?" Death replied, "I wasn't looking at him menacingly, I was merely surprised to see him here in Baghdad; for, you see, I have an appointment with him tonight in Samara."

Psalm 90:4-6 - For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 (King James Version)

5Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
