Re: a question for monists

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.
 23. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from
one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
Lord.
 24. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that
have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall
their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
