For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
Ibn Ezra
The new heavens. I have already explained this expression (65:17). עמדים Shall remain, shall not be destroyed, as their predecessors have been. Before me. Before God, who is the first, cause of all existing things. And your name shall remain, so that it will not be blotted out; or, it has the same meaning as your seed, and is a mere repetition of the same idea. Comp. To Jacob and to Israel (Num. 23:23)
