Isaiah 25:8 is fulfilled in two separate events.
Isaiah 25:8 – “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.”
The first part of Isaiah 25:8 (“He will swallow up death in victory”) is fulfilled at the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:54.
1 Corinthians 15:54 – “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Paul is referring back to Isaiah 25:8, that is why he says “that is written” and quotes the first part of Isaiah 25:8.
The second part of Isaiah 25:8 (“the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces”) is fulfilled at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ at the great white throne judgement in Revelation 21:4.
Revelation 21:4 – “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
