Judgment and Final Salvation
“Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad and rejoice forever in My creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in My people. And the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no more.
No longer will babies die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be considered old at one hundred! Only the cursed will die that young! In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards. Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and confiscate their vineyards. For My people will live as long as trees, and My chosen ones will have time to njoy their hard-won gains. They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed by misfortune. I will answer them before they even all to Me. While they are still taking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
The wolf and lamb will feed together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. But the snakes will eat dust. In those days now one will be hurt or destroyed on My holy mountain. Ik the Lord, have spoken!”(vv. 16-25, NLT)
