Spiritual Quote of the Day (Book of Isaiah, on the Mountain Where God Will Destroy ‘The Shroud That Enfolds All Peoples’)

“On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.
On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
      he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.
In that day they will say,
 
‘Surely this is our God;
    we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.’”—Isaiah 25: 6-9 (New International Version)

(This detail of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel shows the prophet Isaiah.)
