Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 65:22

Theological / Devotional

Days of a tree. A tree is a symbol of fixity and permanence. Compare ch. 40:6.

Work of their hands. Life in the new earth will not be an idle existence. Men will labor and they will enjoy the fruits of their labors. Work there will be a comfort and a source of endless delight. The saints will plan homes and gardens and they will have the time and the means to carry out their plans.
