'Former Things' in the Bible

"Let them announce, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

"Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the things of old.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me;

I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they happened.

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
