Isaiah 66:22 Summary
This verse is saying that just like God's new creation will last forever, the people who follow Him and their legacy will also last forever. This means that the things we do for God and the ways we love and serve Him will have an impact that will be remembered for generations to come, as seen in Matthew 25:23 and 1 Corinthians 3:14. It's a promise that our lives and our faith will have a lasting impact, and that God will remember us and our descendants. This gives us hope and purpose, knowing that our lives are not just fleeting, but are part of God's eternal plan (Psalms 90:2, Ephesians 3:11).

This is a promise that God will remember and bless the descendants of those who follow Him, as seen in Exodus 20:6 and Deuteronomy 5:10, where God shows love to a thousand generations of those who love Him.
Is this verse talking about the afterlife or heaven?
While Isaiah 66:22 does mention the new heavens and new earth, it's also talking about the enduring legacy of God's people, and how their faithfulness will be remembered for generations to come, much like in Psalms 102:28, where it says that the children of God's servants will be established before Him.
How does this verse relate to God's covenant with His people?
This verse is a reminder of God's covenant promises to His people, as seen in Genesis 17:7 and Leviticus 26:44-45, where God promises to be their God and they will be His people, and that He will never forsake them.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make,.... Not "have made"; for this is not to be understood of the heavens and the earth made new in the beginning, and which continue so
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 66:22
This whole verse is only a promise of the perpetuity of the gospel church, and the not failing of the additions to it of such as shall be saved till the world shall have an end. The new heavens and the new earth; the new state of the church to be raised up under the Messias. As I intend that shall abide, so there shall be a daily succession of true believers for the upholding of it; for if believers could fail from the earth, the church, made up of them only, as the true members of it, must fail also.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 66:22
Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.Ver. 22. For as the new heavens.] So shall there be a true Church and a ministry for the good of my people to the world’ s end. It shall not be taken away, as is the Jewish polity and hierarchy.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 66:22
(22) As the new heavens and the new earth . . .—The transformation of Isa 65:17 is pre-supposed, but that future kingdom of God shall perpetuate the historical continuity of that which has preceded it. Israel (the prophet’s range of vision seems limited to the outward Israel, while St. Paul extends it to the spiritual) shall still exist. The ideal represented by that name will have an indestructible vitality.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 66:22
22. Comp. Jeremiah 31:35 f., Jeremiah 33:25 f. the new heavens and the new earth] ch. Isaiah 65:17.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth - (See the notes at Isaiah 65:17). Shall remain before me - They shall not pass away and be succeeded by others.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 66:22
21, 22. And I will… take of them — These words connect closely with the heathen converts of the preceding verse. “Of them,” together with the “and,” show this clearly enough.
