Isaiah 25:6
New English Translation
6 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will hold a banquet for all the nations on this mountain.
At this banquet there will be plenty of meat and aged wine—
tender meat and choicest wine.
"An important, but often overlooked, apocalyptic theme in Matthew is the Messianic Banquet. Matthew’s use of the Messianic Banquet theme is a key component of Matthew’s theology concerning the nature of the church, Israel, and the future of the true people of God. The dissertation has been done to fill in the gap of the lack of studies done on Matthew’s use of this theme.
...
Also significant are the three eschatological parables that utilize the Messianic Banquet theme, the Vineyard (Matt 21:33-46), the Great Supper (Matt 22:1-14), and the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matt 25:1-13).
...
The clearest passage of an eschatological meal and the most influential for later Jewish expectations is Isa 25:6-8.
...
Although the banquet is metaphorical, it does represent actual physical blessings in the final days for all people.15 The banquet of wine and fatty food implies a sustained abundant harvest of grapes and multiplied well-fed livestock.
