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 will make, will remain before me” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “so your offspring and your name will remain. All humanity will come to worship me from one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another,” says the Lord. 24“As they leave, they will see the dead bodies of those who have rebelled against me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never go out, and they will be a horror to all humanity.”
