## Remember the Old Days?

Isaiah 65:17
Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

## Comment

Peter writes, "we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness." 2Peter 3:13 And in Revelation 21:1 John writes, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away." where it is announced, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."Rev 21:3,4 It's something to look forward to.

But what about the idea about the former things not being remembered after the final judgment? What if that is to be literally true? For example God says that He will remember our sins no more (Heb 10:17) and perhaps we ourselves won't remember them either. No memory of our past faults. No memory either of loved ones cast into the lake of fire. No reason to sorrow. No painful memories. The old days will be forgotten and a new chapter in His-story will be written.
