Isaiah 65:17-25

Isaiah 65:17-25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

A PROMISE OF NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH. The final answer of God to the complaint and prayer of his people (.) is now given. The entire existing state of things is to pass away. God will create a new heaven and a new earth, and place his people therein; and the old conditions will be all changed, and the old grounds of complaint disappear.

In the "new Jerusalem" there will be no sorrow, neither "weeping" nor "crying" (); life will be greatly prolonged (); men will always enjoy the fruit of their labours (, ), and see their children grow up ().

Prayer will be answered almost before it is uttered (). Finally, there will be peace in the animal world, and between the animal world and man. No living thing will kill or hurt another in all God's "holy mountain" ().
