A Hope Built on Promise
Commentators unanimously point out that the Christian's hope for a "new heavens and a new earth" is not wishful thinking. It is firmly grounded in God's specific promises recorded in the Old Testament, particularly in Isaiah 65:17 and 66:22. This future reality is a guaranteed fulfillment of God's word, giving believers a solid foundation for their expectation.
