Isaiah 65:20

18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
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.

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.

21 ^aThey shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

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.

23 They shall not labor in vain,
^aNor bring forth children for trouble;
For ^bthey shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.

What Does Isaiah 65:20 Mean?

Even the longest-lived humans, such as the old Finlander who reached age 969, could not last a full millennium. During God's millennial Kingdom on earth, human longevity, even for those observing God's health laws, will not be extended much beyond what people experience currently. Reaching one hundred years amounts to only a mere tithe of an entire millennium.

Isaiah 65:17-25

Those in the second resurrection will be raised to life as physical, flesh-and-blood human beings. They will live in a peaceful, prosperous world free from the demonic influence of Satan. Evidently, God will grant them a hundred years of life to learn and accept His way.
