It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Yishai, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.
For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, *As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;* although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
I heard the voice from heaven saying, *Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'* *Yes,* says the Spirit, *that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.*
He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.*
