The verse is Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Why is this writing about “Shall Not Be Remembered”, nor come to mind? One thing that has been true, is that every person leaves an imprint upon other humans. Whether for good or evil, there is some memory of them and their actions. The statement made in stories goes something like “I will be remembered: for having been; as the one; my children will remember; this building is my testimony; . . . . Pharaoh against Moses, Pharaoh is remembered, In the Written Torah that is the Exodus Story, Told every year for more than 3,500 years. The story is known all over the world. Even to the point that in various places Moses says to the ALMIGHTY LORD, Exodus 32: “12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? . . . . .”
The memory of our deeds can make our lives of value, based upon being remembered. Some will say that this is true whether for good or bad, I will be remembered. We know that every person or event in our life, adds to the volume of information we use to make our choices.
All of this will very soon cease to exist. I have presented in my writings: “The Last Day” and “The World To Come . . . ”, I present the evidence that The Heavens and the Earth are to be Erased or as in “Isaiah 51:6 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 favour shall not be abolished.”. So the Heavens and the Earth will go away. Yet, there is more, for encouragement of the Righteous is also presented as: Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
All of that sounds good, but there is nothing stating what happens to the non-righteous, right? This was a part of many for the encouragement of those seeking Righteousness and doing righteously. Much of the prophecies are about attempting to get the un-righteous to turn back and to become righteous. I am presenting two items today. One, is that those that end as “Not Righteous”, they will not have any portion in the New Heavens and Earth. They will not even be a memory nor a hole in existence. For the inhabitants of the New, this universe never existed. Those that do not go, have not effect nor are remembered by those that have gone to the New.
Second, be of good heart and good cheer, for all the bad that happened and those that did so, will never be a part of you or your heart, again! Those inhabiting the New Heavens and New Earth, will be Righteous before the LORD, even as HIS Own Children.
So, does that mean that those un-righteous, evil doers go unpunished? Let’s see!
First I would point out that to have no foot print, no memory, no heirs, as if you never existed, for most is great punishment. To spend anytime, knowing that you could have been elsewhere, could have been something, but that YOU through it away. That would be pain and suffering.
Daniel 12: 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence. 3 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
So, many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, . . . . But, Not all! Only some to everlasting life. The only real question is: Where do you want to be? Then: How can I get there?
If you do not want to end with this earth, then the answer are in the Written Torah. First, Answer is “Exodus 19: 5 Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; 6 and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.’ “ So, keeping the Laws, Teachings of the LORD, and HIS Covenants, AND You knowing that HE IS THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, declare that you are HIS as HE is YOUR GOD! Males must be Circumsized, which makes this declaration in the flesh. P.s. that is the purpose of being Circumsized.
Genesis 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.’
9 And God said unto Abraham: ‘And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
10 This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.’
It is the Sign in your flesh, that you declare that the LORD is YOUR GOD. How important is this?
Exodus 12: 48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.’
This makes any not of the Covenant by birth, in the Covenant of Circumcision, declaring that You are HIS and HE IS YOUR GOD.
The Written Covenant is from Exodus 20 thru Exodus 23. You need to read the entire Written Torah, and keep the LAWS as Written by the Hand of Moses. You can do it, I know that you can, for I do.

I can not save you, no one can, You must Return and do that which is Right.
I can show you the way, if you want to know.
IT is to our benefit to HEARKEN until the LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL/ISRAEL/JACOB, and to our pain and shame to do otherwise.
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
