'Former Things' in the Bible

There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.

Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

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

But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life].

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
