2200.—Wipe Away All Tears.

Rev. 21:4 seems to teach that it is after the thousand years that God wipes away all tears; but does not Isa. 25:8, 9 indicate that the tears are wiped away at Christ's coming?
Sometimes the coming of Christ embraces all that results from it, the judgments and the rewards, including the thousand years. It seems reasonable to believe that when the saints sit in judgment with Christ (1 Cor. 6:1, 2; Rev. 20:4), there will be tears shed as they see perhaps their own mistakes and how God's goodness has been slighted. But when that judgment is over and God's justice is vindicated by His mercy, all sorrow shall be banished forevermore.
