"I now create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind again.
Be glad forever and rejoice in what I create; for I create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in MY people.
The sound of distress and the voice of weeping will not be heard in it any more.
You will no longer know of dead children or of adults who do not live out a lifetime. One who reaches a hundred years will have died a mere youth, but one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant crops and eat their fruit." - Isaiah 65:17-21
(No one could imagine the new heaven prepared for us by GOD [Mark 12:18]. Let us rejoice that the prophet has described it in such a concrete way. For us the happiness of the "beyond" is part of our faith; but at this time it was not yet clear neither for the Jews nor the prophet. GOD rewarded people while on earth and they preferred not to think about the lot of those already dead, or who would die before the time of happiness had come. GOD did everything so that HIS people would not neglect their earthly duties on the pretext of waiting for a "beyond.")
