I was on another thread earlier and noticed how much of Isaiah 66 compares to 70AD Jerusalem in Revelation.That topic has recently come up in another thread and it really is its own thread.
When we read these passages - is this the literal earth and literal heaven......or does it mean something else:
Matthew 5:18 ~ For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.......and this question was also asked:
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Luke 16:17
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
First we have this verse where the body and soul are DESTROYED in fire of gehenna, not suffering living torment:
Mat 10:28
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy<622> both soul and body in the gehenna.
Jesus uses the word "gehenna" concerning the corrupt murderous Jewish rulers in pre-70Ad Jerusalem:
Matthew 23:33 "Serpents! offspring<1081> of vipers! how? ye may be fleeing from the judging<2920> of the gehenna<1067>
Paul says we consist of body, soul and spirit:
1Th 5:23
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the parousia of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 18 shows the bodies and souls of men at the 70AD destruction of Jerusalem:
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
Rev 18:13Of the Jews destroyed during the siege, Josephus reckons not less than ONE MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, to which must be added, above TWO-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND who perished in other places, and innumerable multitudes who were swept away by famine, and pestilence, and of which no calculation could be made. Not less than two thousand laid violent hands upon themselves.
“and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
====================
Now compare this passage in Isaiah 66 with the destruction of Jerusalem in comparison to the NHNE......
Isa 66:
22“As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24“And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me;
the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,[Mark 9:44-48]
and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
===========================
Jesus refers to that passage in Mark:
Eze 20:38 - “I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Hos 5:2 - The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter. I will discipline all of them.
--------------------
Mar 9:44 [Isaiah 66:24]
where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:46 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:48 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
===========================
An interesting vid on that:
