New heaven and a New earth

Isaiah 65:17-35

See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will createfor I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.

“Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.

They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;  for they will be a people blessed by the Lordthey and their descendants with them. Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

Why?

There is a new heaven and a new earth God created for his people. There are glad and rejoice forever. 

Never again there be in it an infant who lives but a few days. people may live more than a hundred years.

They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune. There are many people who labor in vain and struggle to live.

How?

There is peace, rejoice, not labor in vain, and live longer on the new earth. This is like a dream to many of us. We believe it will come true on the day of the Lord.
