Isaiah 65:17 (ESV Strong's)
17 “For behold, I create new heavens
and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind.
New Heavens-New Earth
We love our world and our existence. We hang pictures on the wall to remember great moments and people of our existence. We take pictures of the places we have been in order to go back and remember those moments. In the old days we had scrape books; in the new age with have FaceBook. In times past we had video cameras; in the time present we have phone cameras that take video. Long ago we carved pictures on the walls of cave; in recent past we drew pictures on our bridges and walls. We love to memorize our existence. That is what makes the above passage so shocking. God is speaking, through Isaiah, about a time when He will great a new heaven and a new earth. The new heaven and the new earth will, in fact, be such a great place we will remember our current heaven and earth or even COME TO MIND. Think of something so spectacular that you would forget the most precision memories in your mind. Think of a transformation so special that you would not call to remembrance the special things in your life. That is how amazing and awesome God’s new creation will be. The glorification of believers is an event that should cause us to come in awe of God. God is going to bring us into a place that is filled with His glory. He has a plan for us that includes the glorification of our our lives.
