The New Jerusalem

Last night I had a strange dream. It was about Palestinians living in the disputed territories and their being deprived the “better service’s offered to the new Jewish settlers. What was unusual about this was the dream was specifically about parks, schools, roads and the like.
When I awoke, I googled search words on this topic, and found the following:

If you don’t want to read this, then just be assured it confirms the contents of this dream is happening, perhaps not rocket science that these problems exist, but I have no particular recollection of this specific news crossing my TV or computer screen recently.
Then, after discussing this with my wife over breakfast, I see the words of Isaiah as I prepared to write this reflection for the day. The discussion I had been having with my wife had led to the topic of Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem.
Now I am not an expert on eschatology (the end times), but I have spent a lot of time physically in the middle east during my life, so know something of life there. I also perceive our journey here on earth as a movement towards that New Jerusalem, a divine path which we are all called to one way or another.

I have emboldened the parts of this reading that I think are most relevant.

Reading 1 Is 65:17-21

Thus says the LORD:
Lo, I am about to create new heavens
and a new earth;
The things of the past shall not be remembered
or come to mind.
Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness
in what I create;
For I create Jerusalem to be a joy
and its people to be a delight;
I will rejoice in Jerusalem
and exult in my people.
No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there,
or the sound of crying;
No longer shall there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not round out his full lifetime;
He dies a mere youth who reaches but a hundred years,
and he who fails of a hundred shall be thought accursed.
They shall live in the houses they build,
and eat the fruit of the vineyards they plant.

So what is the point of this reflection? I am not really sure precisely, but it seems like a call to action. As I pray and discern on this some more, I will post accordingly.
