ISB ~ Matthew 24 v35

Heaven and earth will pass away:A solemn prediction, not a hypothetical contrast. Jesus thus prophesies the termination of the Old Covenant order, i.e., the old creation awaiting renewal in Christ (cf. 2 Cor 5:17; Rev 21:1). As the OT era gave way to the NT age established by Christ’s powerful words, so even the NT age will give way to eternal life at the end of history.

• Jesus’ statement recalls OT oracles that describe God’s word (Is 40:8) and salvation (Is 51:6) outlasting the frail elements of the cosmos.
