“For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed…
For they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—and their descendants as well. Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking, I will hear… says the Lord.” Isaiah 65: 17-20, 23-24, New Revised Standard Version
