Isa. 25:61| peoples
| Here peoples refers to the nations. In the restoration God will make a satisfying feast for the nations. At that time Jerusalem with Mount Zion will be the most joyful place on earth. It will be a center to which all the peoples of the earth will come to find enjoyment and satisfaction (2:2-3).
Isa. 25:71| covering
| Lit., the face of the covering that covers up. Today the people on earth are covered with a veil that keeps them from seeing God’s economy (cf. 2|Cor. 3:15; 4:4), but in the restoration God will take away this covering. Then all the people will see something concerning God’s eternal economy.

Isa. 25:81| forever
| Lit., unto perpetuity. The Hebrew phrase, however, also contains the notion of eminence; thus, the Septuagint translated it having prevailed, and Paul freely rendered it unto victory (1|Cor. 15:54).
