Your Seed Shall Remain

"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, says G-d, so shall your seed and your name remain."
The "new heavens" which will be revealed in future time allude to the diffusion of a new or makkif, a Divine light that transcends the finitude of the created universe; the "new earth" alludes to the diffusion of a new or pnimi, a Divine light that is immanent within the finitude of the created universe. Even then, however, "your seed and your name shall remain" before G-d: the spiritual labors of the era of exile, which consist of sowing seeds in preparation for the Days of Mashiach, will be prized then, too.
