No remembrance

(1/4) > >>

SandyFla:
"That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy." - Isaiah 65:16-18

Does the part in bold really mean we will not remember our life in this world when the next begins? If so, of what use is the knowledge of evil in order for us to know good?

shibboleth:
I have often wondered that myself. When everything becomes all in all, will we no longer remember what God brought us out of or the price Christ paid for our redemption? This is a really good question and I will see if I can find anything out about it.

alchemist:
What exactly do you think this and the next world are?

love_magnified:
I believe "heaven and earth" refers to covenant relationship, not physical heaven and earth. Heaven and earth did pass away. It passed away. It is passing away. And it will pass away, until God is all in all. We are in New Jerusalem (the bride, the body, the Kingdom). We are made new, through a new relationship between Heaven (God) and earth (man).

Sorin:
That's a good question Sandy. But notice it's talking about the former earth will not be remembered or come to mind. I guess we have to first consider
the translation, how accurate it is. And look up the meaning of the word "remembered". The way I look at is, by "will not come to mind" to mean that
the new will be so much better that  the former will not even come to mind for it has passed. But the word "remembered" I'm interested in.
I mean if that is indeed true, that we will have no memory of the former earth, then none of our former selves then of what value is the knowledge of good and evil here since we'll no longer have any knowledge of it. kind of weird, seems contradictory to other Scripture. Or what would be the point of judgement if you have no memory of your former life?

Take care,
Sorin
