15 You shall leave your name aas a curse to bMy chosen;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And ccall His servants by another name;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And ccall His servants by another name;
16 aSo that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And bhe who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And bhe who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.
The Glorious New Creation
17 “For behold, I create anew heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or1 come to mind.
And the former shall not be remembered or1 come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
19 aI will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The bvoice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying.
And joy in My people;
The bvoice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying.
20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and aanother eat;
For bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
They shall not plant and aanother eat;
For bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

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.
