THERE ARE TWO “CREATIONS” REFERENCED FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. [Gen 1:1]
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things became by it; and without it not one thing became that has become.[John 1:1-3][Tyndale Bible; 1525][Great Bible; 1539][Geneva Bible; 1560][Bishops bible; 1568]

There are two “beginnings” referenced for heaven and earth, just as there are two “destructions;” one as the changing of a garment, and one with fervent heat..

Look at how the Psalmist foretells of the fading away of the old, and establishment of a new: “They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: [Psa 102:26]

And look at how Isaiah foretells of the same incident: “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.” [Isa 51:6]

Peter tells of a “fervent heat” that shall melt the elements; this is one “destruction” of the heaven and earth. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [2 Pet 3:10,12]

“Fervent heat” is not the same as a “fading garment.” The first will be changed as a garment is changes; the second will be destroyed with fervent heat of a fire.

“Smoke” is not “fervent heat” and a fading garment is not a burning element. This is the changing of a garment, the changing of a covenant, and the changeing of the “old” for the “new.”

THERE ARE TWO CREATIONS DESCRIBED IN SCRIPTURE
THE FIRST – Isa 51:11 “HATH STRETCHED AND LAID:”
“Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;13 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that HATH STRETCHED forth the heavens, AND LAID the foundations of the earth;

THE NEW – “THAT I MAY PLANT AND LAY:”
Isa 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, THAT I MAY plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is HIS SON's name, if thou canst tell? [Prov 30:4]

Proverbs tells us that the one who established the ends of the earth had a son. Jesus did not have a son. Jehovah did. Jesus is not Jehovah. Jesus did not establish the ends of the earth, he established a new covenant and the “new creation” whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers” just as delineated by Paul in [Col 1:16]

John tells us “all things by it became” referencing the logos of God, and when Jesus preached the sermon on the mount, establishing new parameters for the new kingdom of God; and when Jesus was raised far above all principality and power, dominion and throne in heavenly places, so that all former relationships were changed, he “established” the new heavens and earth.

Compare the two “passings” of the two “heavens” and the two “earths” and you will see Isaiah knew there would be a “new” and an “old;” that the new would replace the old.

NEW THINGS
Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

NEW HEAVEN – NEW EARTH
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

NEW COVENANT
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

NEW AGE
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he (ginomai) made the ages;

NEW COMMANDMENT

NEW COMMANDMENT
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:8-11

NEW COMMUNION IN KINGDOM
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. -Mat 26:29

Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. -Mark 14:25

NEW COVENANT
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: -Heb 8:8

In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. -Heb 8:13

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature. -Gal 6:15

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among
themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. -Mark 1:27

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. -Eph 4:24

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: -Col 3:10

NEW NAME
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. -Rev 2:17

NEW SONG
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; -Rev 5:9
