In biblical history, the death of infants was a frequent tragedy due to disease and lack of medical knowledge. This promise of extended life for infants reflects a restoration of creation to its intended state, reminiscent of the pre-fall world in Genesis. It aligns with prophetic visions of a new heaven and new earth, where suffering and death are eradicated (<a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>).or an old man fail to live out his years The expectation that the elderly will live out their full lifespan indicates a reversal of the curse of death introduced in <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a>. In ancient Israel, long life was seen as a blessing from God (<a href="/deuteronomy/5-33.htm">Deuteronomy 5:33</a>). This promise suggests a return to the conditions of the patriarchs, who lived for centuries, and symbolizes the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. It also points to the Messianic age, where Jesus Christ, the "Ancient of Days" (<a href="/daniel/7-9.htm">Daniel 7:9</a>), reigns and restores life.For the youth will die at a hundred years This hyperbolic statement emphasizes the dramatic increase in lifespan, where even a hundred years is considered youthful. It reflects the prophetic vision of a renewed creation where death is not premature. This imagery is consistent with the eschatological hope found in other prophetic books, such as <a href="/zechariah/8-4.htm">Zechariah 8:4-5</a>, where old men and women sit in the streets, and children play, symbolizing peace and prosperity.and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed In the cultural context of ancient Israel, dying young was often seen as a sign of divine disfavor or curse (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>). This phrase underscores the transformation of societal norms in the prophesied future, where anything less than a full life is an anomaly. It highlights the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive plan, where the effects of sin and the curse are fully reversed through the work of Christ, who bore the curse on the cross (<a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/n/nursing_infant.htm">Nursing Infant</a> Represents the most vulnerable and dependent stage of human life, highlighting the promise of longevity and health. 2. <a href="/topical/o/old_man.htm">Old Man</a> Symbolizes the culmination of a full life, emphasizing the assurance of living out one's years. 3. <a href="/topical/y/youth.htm">Youth</a> In this context, refers to someone who is a hundred years old, illustrating the extended lifespan in the new creation. 4. <a href="/topical/a/accursed.htm">Accursed</a> Indicates the rarity and abnormality of dying young in the prophesied era of blessing and prosperity. 5. <a href="/topical/n/new_heavens_and_new_earth.htm">New Heavens and New Earth</a> The broader context of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/65.htm">Isaiah 65</a>, describing a future time of peace and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/p/promise_of_restoration.htm">Promise of Restoration</a> <a href="/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20</a> assures believers of God's plan to restore creation to a state of peace and longevity.

(Comp. <a href="/zechariah/8-4.htm" title="Thus said the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.">Zechariah 8:4</a>.) He who dies at the age of a hundred will be thought of as dying young; even the sinner, dying before his time as the penalty of his guilt, shall live out the measure of a century. The noticeable fact is that sin is thought of as not altogether extinct--as still appearing, though under altered conditions, even in the restored Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/65.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 20. - There shall be no more thence an infant of days; i.e. there shall not go from the new Jerusalem into the unseen world any infant of a few days old. On the contrary, even "the youth" shall reach a hundred; i.e. one who dies when he is a hundred shall be regarded as cut off in his youth. The general rule shall be, that old men shall "fill their days," or attain to patriarchal longevity. Even the sinner, who is under the curse of God, shall not be cut off till he is a hundred. What is most remarkable in the description is that death and sin are represented as still continuing. Death was spoken of as "swallowed up in victory" in one of the earlier descriptions of Messiah's kingdom (<a href="/isaiah/25-8.htm">Isaiah 25:8</a>). <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/65-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>No לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no longer ע֗וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more will a nursing infant ע֤וּל (‘ūl) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5764.htm">Strong's 5764: </a> A sucking child, suckling live יִֽהְיֶ֨ה (yih·yeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be but a few days, יָמִים֙ (yā·mîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day or an old man וְזָקֵ֔ן (wə·zā·qên) Conjunctive waw | Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2205.htm">Strong's 2205: </a> Old not לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no live out יְמַלֵּ֖א (yə·mal·lê) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4390.htm">Strong's 4390: </a> To fill, be full of his days. יָמָ֑יו (yā·māw) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day For כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction the youth הַנַּ֗עַר (han·na·‘ar) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5288.htm">Strong's 5288: </a> A boy, lad, youth, retainer will die יָמ֔וּת (yā·mūṯ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4191.htm">Strong's 4191: </a> To die, to kill at a hundred מֵאָ֤ה (mê·’āh) Number - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3967.htm">Strong's 3967: </a> A hundred years, בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son and he who fails וְהַ֣חוֹטֶ֔א (wə·ha·ḥō·w·ṭe) Conjunctive waw, Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn [to reach] a hundred מֵאָ֥ה (mê·’āh) Number - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3967.htm">Strong's 3967: </a> A hundred will be considered accursed. יְקֻלָּֽל׃ (yə·qul·lāl) Verb - Pual - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7043.htm">Strong's 7043: </a> To be slight, swift or trifling <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/65-20.htm">Isaiah 65:20 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/65-20.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 65:20 There shall be no more there (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/65-19.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 65:19"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 65:19" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/65-21.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 65:21"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 65:21" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
