What Does Isaiah 65:17 Mean?
In connection with Isaiah 65:17, which speaks of creating new heavens and a new earth where the past is forgotten, those in the second resurrection will be brought back as physical, flesh-and-blood humans. They will dwell in a world of peace and prosperity, untouched by Satan's demonic influence. During this time, God will provide them with a hundred years of life, offering the opportunity to learn and embrace His way. This renewed existence aligns with the vision of a transformed creation, where the old troubles and ways are no longer remembered, paving the way for a fresh start under divine guidance.
