Isaiah 65:17 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Behold, I create new heavens... — The thought reappears in many forms in the New Testament — verbally in 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1, substantially in the “restitution of all things” (Acts 3:21), in the “manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19). The “former things,” the sin and sorrow of the past, shall then fade away from the memory of God’s people, absorbed in the abounding and everlasting joy.

Isaiah 65:17

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor comee into mind.
