Isaiah 65:20-24
New International Version
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,
so will be the days of my people;
my chosen ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor in vain,
nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the Lord,
they and their descendants with them.
24 Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
This has perplexed me for a bit. It seems to be speaking of what most would call heaven; however, heaven will not have death and these verses seem to imply that there is still mortality.
I hear so many people say "all of the prophecy in the Bible has been fulfilled" for the return of Christ.
Personally, I read this one, and I disagree. This hasn't been fulfilled, yet.
Read Isaiah 65:20-24
We are approaching the age of timelessness :)
