Isaiah 25:6-7 (ESV)
6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.

A feast is a proper and usual expression of joy in consequence of victory or any other great success. The Lord intends to host a feast to be celebrated on Mount Sion for all people. without distinction, everyone is to be invited. This is no other than the celebration of the establishment of Christ’s kingdom, which is frequently represented in the Gospel under the image of a feast; “where many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down at a table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;” Matthew 8:11.
The parable of Luke 14 and 15 speaks of eating with Jesus as being a celebration of marriage and Jesus spoke of how he will dine with the faithful. Matthew 8:11, Luke 13:28-29. His reference was the prophetic banquet in Isaiah 25:6-8.
We must understand the full meaning of breaking bread as a celebration of victory, the future kingdom of God is set to this image; a meal on the mountain of God, the eternal feast, the marriage feast of the lamb (Christ) to the bride (the church, believers, you and I). A feast that will last an eternity with people from all nations of the earth as God’s guest-no one is to be excluded except those who have not made themselves ready like the 5 foolish virgins in Matthew 25.
God is preparing a great feast for the repentant remnants, a sumptuous meal with the best of rich food, drinks and merriment.
Everyone is invited to this feast but unfortunately, not everyone will accept the invitation or attend the feast. Only those who conquer will inherit everything the Lord has prepared for them, including the great banquet. Revelation 21:7.
Have you accepted your invitation? Are you ready for the great banquet? Have you RESERVED your place? I have!
In Luke 14, 15, a man planned a large banquet and sent out invitations. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to contact each of the guests, telling them that all was ready, and the meal was about to start. One after another, the guests made excuses for not coming. When the master of the house heard these flimsy excuses, he was angry. He told his servant to forget the guest list and go into the back streets and alleyways of the town and invite “the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame”. The servant had already brought in the down-and-out townspeople, and still, there was room in the banquet hall. So, the master sent his servant on a broader search: “Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in so that my house will be full.
The excuses for skipping the banquet are laughably bad, just like the excuses for not wanting to serve God today. Those who ignored the invitation to the banquet chose their punishment and they missed out. The Lord always respects our choices. So, it will be with God’s judgment on those who choose to reject Christ: they will have their choice confirmed, and they will never taste the joys of heaven because they rejected the invite.
Guard your reservation to the great banquet with everything, it’s the most important and precious invitation you’ll ever receive.
Shalom
