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.
- · All the causes of future sorrow shall be for eve removed (MH)
- · “‘Every tear,’ for they be many; - tears of bereaved affection, such as Mary, and Martha, and the widow of Nain wept; - tears of sympathy and mercy, such as Jeremiah and Jesus wept over the sins and the calamities of Jerusalem; - tears of persecuted innocence, tears of contrition and penitence for faults and crimes against the goodness and majesty of heaven; - tears of disappointment and neglect; - tears of yearning for what cannot now be ours; - these, and whatever others ever course the cheeks of mortals, shall then be dried forever.” (Seiss)
Isaiah
25:8 He will swallow up death forever,
and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces….
Isaiah
61:3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
