I believe He will.
God doesn't go against his own Word.

If you don't have the key to unlock the Words meaning you will create your own notions and visions which are not intended.

You doubted your own understanding of Isaiah 43:18-19 and rightly so...trust you gut!

What was the former heaven and earth passing away in that context?

@Marilyn C while you are working on that

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. Re 21:1.

Symbols need explaining:

Former Heaven and Earth Period?
New Heaven and Earth Period?
What does the Sea represent? (I'm guessing you don't apply a literal reading of this LOL)

Don't forget to ask the right questions!

Same to you.
It’s not necessarily your fault, as you’ve simply been taught in a certain way, and now that perspective has become ingrained, making it difficult to let go of any bias. The issue often starts with making assumptions about a text without fully understanding what it’s actually trying to convey.

If you were truly open to understanding, you’d engage in a manner that encourages a deeper discussion, but instead, you've opted for an approach that has led to this fruitless conversation.

I`m not agreeing with what you are saying.
