"Behold I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered nor will they come to mind"
Isaiah 65:17
I read this and I got a little scared.
......everything in this life is going to be forgotten?
but as I thought about it, it started to make sense.
For we see poor reflections
we see only shadows of things to come.
The new wine is coming.
All the relationships that we have aren't real relationships. They're not even near as to how intimate, close and PERFECT they will be in the New Creation.
The food we eat
The way we worship
The creation we see now
Not even close to the REAL thing.
The truth is we will be so caught up in God and all our attention so fixated on His Holy Presence that nothing else will really matter anyways.
C.S. Lewis paints the picture so clearly in
"The Magicians Nephew" and the "Last battle"
Its weird. I read this verse and immediately excerpts from those two books popped in my head.
