Isaiah 66:22 → Genesis 1:1

Isaiah 66:22 promises that "the new heavens and the new earth" (הַשָּׁמַיִם הַחֲדָשִׁים וְהָאָרֶץ הַחֲדָשָׁה), "which I will make, will endure before Me," echoing Genesis 1:1's "the heavens and the earth" (הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ). While Isaiah 65:17 announces the creation of the new cosmos, 66:22 adds the crucial element of permanence — they will "endure" (עֹמְדִים, omdim) before God. The original creation of Genesis 1 was subject to decay and corruption through the fall; Isaiah's new creation will be permanent. The endurance of the new heavens and earth parallels and guarantees the endurance of Israel's descendants and name ("so your descendants and your name will endure") — the permanence of the new cosmos validates the permanence of the covenant people within it.
