New Heavens and a New Earth
Isaiah 65:17-25
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.…


i.e. a new universe, Hebrew having no single word for the Cosmos. The phrase sums up a whole aspect of the prophetic theology. The idea of a transformation of nature so as to be in harmony with a renewed humanity has met us several times in the earlier part of the book (Isaih 11:6-9, 29:17, 30:23 ff., 32:15, 35., etc.), and is a frequent theme of prophecy, but the thought of a new creation is nowhere expressed so absolutely as here.

(Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)
