Isaiah 66:22-23 (ESV)
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth
that I make
shall remain before me, says the LORD,
so shall your offspring and your name remain.
23 From new moon to new moon,
and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
all flesh shall come to worship before me,
declares the LORD.
“The new heavens and the new earth” are the new creation of man in the image of God. Not just in the form of man, but in the life of Christ.
The descendants of Israel will endure through their generations, from one Sabbath to another. They will dwell on the earth leading the nations in the worship of God. This is the domain of the flesh.
There will be no descendants for those in Christ, for they are like the angels who are neither given or taken in marriage. They dwell in His living temple, never leaving the temple because they are the temple.
