Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 65:17

17 For behold , I create new heavens, and a new earth , & the former shall not be remembred nor come into mind .

I will tell you yet a more admirable thing, I am about wholly to alter and change the state not only of my people, who are now afflicted, restoring them to a more lightsome state, more free from trouble & afflictions, but

Bringing a new face upon the world, sending my Son to raise up a new Church, and to institute a new worship, Iohn 4. 21. 24. and giving out my spirit in a more plentiful manner, Acts 2. 17. which new state shall abide until a new Heavens and Earth appear, in which shall dwell nothing but righteousness, 2 Pet. 3. 13. Rev. 21. 1. and

That state of things shall be such, and so glorious, as the former state of my People shall not be remembred, nor come into mind; whether this new Heavens, and new Earth here promised, signifies such a state of the Church, wherein Christ shall personally reign upon Earth, over his Saints, the wicked being destroyed (as some have thought he shall for a thousand years) I very much doubt, & do not see how from this, and the parallel texts any such thing can be concluded.
