Day and Night in the New Earth.

A CORRESPONDENT writes us that he is unable to see how Isa. lxvi, 22–24, can have its application in the new earth, inasmuch as there is to be but one eternal day, not days, there; for Rev. xxi, 25, says that “there shall be no night there.” If our correspondent will look at the context of the latter quotation, he will see that it has reference to the city alone, and affirms nothing respecting the succession of day and night over the new earth. Other scriptures are explicit, that the regular rotation of day and night will there continue. Not such days and nights as we have here, however, while the gloom of the curse rests down upon the earth; for then the “light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun, shall be seven-fold.” Isa. xxx, 26.
