NOTES for Isa 65:17
A few centuries before the first coming of Christ into the world, half-opens to the prophet Isaiah God's plan concerning the end of time. This world, which we know, created by God, is not yet definitive; it does not still correspond to the Creator’s words: "very good", of which we read at the beginning of the book of Genesis. Indeed, the Creation is distorted by the fall, is distorted such that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." (Romans 8:22); but we can’t imagine ourselves another world. Throughout all the history of the humanity, God intervenes in its course, by finding people responding to His calls, and bringing God's truth into this life bogged down in sin. It is already a new Creation, because the world changes with God and will continue to change. God opens to the prophet that will come the day, when the glory of God will overcome, when everybody will be transfigured by the love of the Almighty. And for us this world will be new and infinitely beautiful. Almost the same words will repeat at the end of the book of Revelation (Revelations. 21:1) with the complement: " Behold, I make all things new" (Revelations. 21:5), - And it means that after God's definitive victory on evil, when this world will pass, when time will end , God will make something again, which is impossible to describe. We can say only one thing of this future world: there will be together - God and man.
