Context of Isaiah 66:23

21I will also take some of them as priests and Levites,” says the Lord. 22“For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will remain and endure before Me,” declares the Lord, “So your offspring and your name will remain and endure. And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down and worship before Me,” says the Lord. 24“Then they will go forth and look Upon the dead bodies of the [rebellious] men Who have transgressed against Me; For their worm (maggot) will not die, And their fire will not go out; And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
