The Daily Light

God shall wipe away all tears: ... there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, ... for the former things are passed away.
  • He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. -- Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. -- The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. -- The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. -- Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
  • I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction. -- The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
  • The things which are not seen are eternal.
