"For behold,I createnewheavensand a newearth;And the formerthingswill not be rememberedor cometo mind.
"Do not callto mindthe formerthings,Or ponderthingsof the past.
"Rememberthe formerthingslongpast,For I am God,and thereis noother;[I am] God,and there is noonelikeMe,
"I have putMy wordsin your mouthand have coveredyou with the shadowof My hand,to establishthe heavens,to foundthe earth,and to sayto Zion,'You are My people.'"
"For justas the newheavensand the newearthWhichI makewill endurebeforeMe," declaresthe LORD,"Soyour offspringand your namewill endure.
"It shall be in thosedayswhenyou are multipliedand increasedin the land,"declaresthe LORD,"they will nolongersay,'The arkof the covenantof the LORD.'And it will not cometo mind,norwill they rememberit, norwill they miss[it], norwill it be madeagain.
but justas it is written,"THINGS WHICHEYEHAS NOT SEENAND EARHAS NOT HEARD,AND [which] HAVE NOT ENTEREDTHE HEARTOF MAN,ALLTHAT GODHAS PREPAREDFOR THOSEWHO LOVEHIM."
Thereforeifanyoneis in Christ,[he is] a newcreature;the old thingspassed away;behold,new thingshave come.
This[expression], "Yetonce more,"denotesthe removingof thosethings which can be shaken,as of created things,sothat thosethings which cannotbe shakenmay remain.
But accordingto His promisewe are lookingfor newheavensand a newearth,in whichrighteousnessdwells.
