  1. The power of tyrants<\/em>. Verses 3-5 describe the power of tyrants for evil: like a powerful torrent, or like a deadly drought. But even vast power such as this is no match for God, who will vanquish them completely in verse 5.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A rich banquet<\/em>. In order to solve the riddle of the banquet, commentators search for other, similar apocalyptic prophecies. Does this banquet have the same meaning as drinking the poisoned cup of wrath, of punishment, as in the prophecy of Jeremiah in another 66 chapters: \u201cFor thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, to me: \u201cTake from My hand this cup of wine\u2014of wrath\u2014and make all the nations to whom I send you drink of it\u201d (25:15)? Or is it more similar to the blessed abundance that flows from God\u2019s mountain, as in Isaiah\u2019s own prophecy from chapter 2 (23 chapters ago)?<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The vision of the eradication of death<\/em>. In the context of redesigning the world in the end of days, this is a new element. And an uplifting one: \u201cHe will destroy death forever. My Lord GOD will wipe the tears away From all faces…\u201d (verse 8).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The hope<\/em>. One who fervently hoped, and their dream was fulfilled, will be doubly jubilant, especially when they see \u201cthis\u201d coming to fruition: \u201cIn that day they shall say: This <\/i>is our God; We trusted in Him, and He delivered us. This <\/i>is the LORD, in whom we trusted; Let us rejoice and exult in His deliverance!\u201d (verse 9).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
