The garment of the eternal Sabbath

AELW 8:67

"The earth will be adorned with another garment, and heaven and the heavenly bodies will be much more splendid, as is stated in Is. 30:26: “The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold.” An old coat that is torn must be replaced with a new one.

In the same manner God also cleanses us from sins and frees us from death. This is the work of the six days of this world. But when these are past, when we have entered into His rest, then our torn and filthy garment will be changed into the garment of the eternal Sabbath (cf. Heb. 4:3–9)"
