REVELATION EVENTS | WIPING TEARS

0. Introduction

a) Let's look at one of the events in Revelation described elsewhere in the Bible.

1. Event

a) Our tears will be wiped away forever.

2. Revelation reference: 21:4

i) 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (KJV)

3. Other reference: Isaiah 25:1-8

a) O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done, wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 2 For You have made a city a ruin,

A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You. 4 For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 5 You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.

6 And in this mountain, The Lord of hosts will make for all people, A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people, He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 25:1-8 NKJV)
