The Ultimate Victory Over Death
Commentators unanimously agree that the phrase 'He will swallow up death forever' is a powerful promise of Christ's ultimate victory. The Apostle Paul quotes this very verse in 1 Corinthians 15 to describe the future resurrection. This isn't just about ending earthly troubles; it's about the complete and final abolition of death itself, a core hope of the Christian faith.
