Scripture focus

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Isaiah 51:6 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 51:6

Theological / Devotional

The heavens shall vanish. See on ch. 34:4. In place of this clause and the next, Dead Sea scroll 1QIs has, “And see who created these things” (see ch. 40:26). The hour is coming when the atmospheric heavens are to “be dissolved” (2 Peter 3:10, 11). Heaven and earth may pass away, but God’s revealed will (see on Isa. 51:4) abides forever (see Matt. 5:18).

For ever. When God restores the earth to its original state it will not again revert to its present state of moral chaos.
