Creation

The Prophet is looking in the future into time before time and he is repeating what God said not what He said

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create newheavens and a new earth: and theformer shall not be remembered, norcome into mind.
The Prophet talking about "Worship In the New Creation"

Devotional Reading Isaiah 42;1-9

What to be learned here is characteristic of the New Heavens and the New Earth

To understand the Prophet Isaiah which is called a Miniature Bible This is due to the division of his book
first 39 chapters is the first major division and finial 27 chapters is the second part this would 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 Books of the New Testament that would make up the 66 books of the Bible

Isaiah's message begins with an appeal to the Heavens and the Earth(Isaiah 1;2) Isaiah 40 begins the second part it begins with the open verse"The voice of him that criers in the Wilderness ,Prepare the way of The Lord (Isaiah 40:3) This Prophecy if fulfilled in the proclamation of John the Baptist .

Following Isaiah 40 comes some of the most powerful prophecies found in the Old Testament.

Our text today bring us to the conclusion of the book
Isaiah 65:17-25 The text is Prediction of " New heavens and a new earth" This brings us to the mind of John (Rev 21:1

Her we go. Israel God people was in bondage to sin God people failed to obey him so they were in exile in Babylon a strange city because they rebelled against Him by offering sacrifice and burning incense to idols (Isaiah 65:3) The people were pretending to be Christians . in chapter 64:12 God promise not to be silent. He would punish His people for there sin but he would not destroy the whole nation. God always have some faithful people

As we see in this world there are some saved folks. Today's text pictures future blessings of those delivered from the chains of spiritual bondage.

What God is showing me is this prophecies applies in part to the exiles returned from Babylon. but it goes father than that it is the now and the now after In chapter 51:6 Isaiah had said
God has a blessing for on this side but the best is on the other side.

Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment. remember these people are God's saved people what God is going to do for them and all His people . In place of the old Heaven it going to be a new Heaven and God said it is going to be be so glorious until all former thing will not be remembered not even enter the mind such as suffering , crying, weeping new things gladness rejoicing There is a dispute whether these verses refers to the heavenly state ( The metaphorical vies) or to a future period in which Christ will rule on Earth (The literal view) Regardless of the view focus on the blessings

Verses 20-25 Isaiah gives further descriptions of life in the New Jerusalem
He said those who live in the New Jerusalem would have long lives. verse 20 they would labor in vane. Their prayers will be answered speedily.

The first blessing is a long life (v20)The limitation of age will no longer be No premature deaths will occur every one live to be a hundred will be considered a child

The second blessing (v21-23 The people of Isaiah's time lived and died with the vagaries of agriculture life in this New Jerusalem people would work but they would receive the fruit of there labor. Generation after Generation , the people of God would be blessed.

The third blessing (V 23 ) God would answer the prayers even when the people are praying
The fourth Blessing (V25) is peace The fall of sin introduced hostility in the world and murders was committed but in the new creation even animals would praying on one another, Perfect harmony would reign

Believe me I read this book all night,

We have a great future because what God has promise us we have Hope as we go through we know there is a New Heaven all thing will be new. We can over come life failures and disappointment because we have a new Heaven. Praise God
