NOTES for Isa 65:17

God opens through the prophet Isaiah a remarkable detail of his plan: He intends to continue His creation, these - earth and heaven are ephemera, this world will pass a certain way till the end, but life doesn’t stop on it. Indeed, if the ancient heaven and the earth will not be any more remembered, it means that there will be those who can remember or not remember.

Now a little about another thing. Why is it important that the former things will not come any more into the heart? We can remember of Lot’s wife (Genesis 19:26) or "looking back" (Luke. 9:62). When we pass from death to life, it is necessary to throw all which pulls us again back to death, it is necessary to hold in heart what is not ephemera - love - and " to close the heart " to the sin penetrating into this world. There is for this only one means, and the Gospel constantly reminds it to us, this means is forgiveness. Forgiving "every one that is indebted to us", we open the way for God's forgiveness to ourselves, this forgiveness, with which God erases our iniquities such that He remember of them no more. (Jeremiah. 31:34).
