“It is a general methodological assumption of the early church fathers, as well as those modern renewalists, that John’s vision of the new heavens and new earth in Revelation 21 must be read in light of Isaiah 65–66. To read this as annihilation and re-creation ex nihilo is to read into it meanings for “pass away” and “new heavens and new earth” that are foreign to the sum of biblical teaching.” -Dr. Michael Svigel, The Fathers on the Future, p.164
