Title 2 ~ Isaiah 65: 20 What do you think this means? More so, when and where will it be?

[FreeInChrist]

Isaiah 65:20

“No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does not live out his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred
And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.

Isaiah 65:17 clearly is principally about the final kingdom-heaven

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

Isaiah 65:18 presents a beautiful picture of joy and gladness in the new creation that God promises to His people.

“But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness.

Isaiah 65:19 is clearly about how God will bring joy and gladness to His people, replacing their sorrow and mourning with eternal happiness in His presence.

“I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.

ENTER NOW a confusing phrase that follows what WILL BE. For time is spent in explanation of "future" end of time and now it reverts back to when?

Isaiah 65:20 talks about about a time of great longevity and flourishing where there will be no more premature deaths or untimely endings, reflecting a period of divine favor and blessings.

Surly this can not be in the new heavens and new earth? But can it be here, before the new heavens and new earth.

There will be a new Jerusalem as verse 18 tells us, but will it be on the New earth or here?

WE, at least I have always understood, after the end comes there will be no more death?

AM I WRONG?

Then why in verse 20 does it say.....

“No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred Will be thought accursed.

In my opinion, this is the millennial kingdom where “the lion and the lamb will lay down together”.

There is no death in the new heaven and earth, not just not dying for at least a century.

[Selah]

The way it was explained to me many years ago, the English translation of Isaiah 65:20 differs slightly from the Massoretic text. So this verse is saying that a child will no longer die when it is only a few days old, and a person will no longer be considered old when they reach the age of one hundred. Why? …because at this time, we are living in the eternity, and there are no births or deaths, and each soul exists in incorruptible and immortal bodies. In other words, we are no longer living in our flesh bodies like we have now; in the eternity, our bodies will be spiritual ones!

*The eternity begins after the Great White Throne Judgment.

I don't have an answer for this.

I'm inclined to think the last half of the verse is an extremely early editorial insertion.

We should always trust the NT writers to help us with OT scriptures, for they are not written as the NT are written. I think Selah is very close in what she (I think, could be wrong) has been taught and holds to.

After the great white throne judgement, then eternity will begin with no end. Have you ever been off the grid so to speak and lose track of what day it is? I have more than once. I believe (I admit I could be wrong) that's what Isaiah meant when speaking~ "shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days". For sure, no sinners will be there and no more death that is made clear from John's writings in Revelation 21, which we can teach with assurance of knowing we are correct.

Isaiah 65:20​

“There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.”

Infants and old men are products of time in this physical universe. It will not exist once Jesus has come back and the judgments at the judgment seat of Christ are complete. All who have received the gift of eternal life will then simply exist. There will be no such thing as time.
