In Hebrew thought, God’s ultimate goal was never to abandon the Earth, but to redeem it. Isaiah 65 promises Tikkun Olam (the repair of the world), where human labor is no longer frustrating, creation is no longer violent, and peace (shalom) reigns over physical reality.
Isaiah 65:17, 21–22, 25
"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth... They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity... The wolf and the lamb shall graze together."
