Jehovah God used Isaiah to foretell the righteous conditions that would prevail in the “new earth.” Then, another person will not exploit you, to benefit from the house you build, or the vineyard you plant—as is often the case today. Instead, the prophecy promises that each one will enjoy the benefits of his own labors—and the people “shall long enjoy the work of their hands.” (Isa. 65:17-24) Referring back to this promise, the apostle Peter wrote: “Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens [God’s righteous heavenly government] and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness”—2 Pet. 3:13.
