At the center of this contribution stands a prophetic expectation that one encounters primarily in the late and latest textual layers of the three major prophets and that finds a conceptual focus in the notion of the "new". The hermeneutical (and presumably also literary) starting point is provided by Deutero-Isaiah, in whose first part (Isaiah 40-48) the talk of the "new" is grounded both in terms of contemporary history and politics as well as in a theological sense. The peculiarity of this is that Deutero-Isaiah crosses the distinction of "earlier" and "new things" with the semantics of "remembering" and "forgetting". How much remembering and forgetting does the expectation of the "new" require? And what does this actually mean for the expectation of a new heart/spirit (Ezekiel), a new covenant (Jeremiah) and finally a new heaven and a new earth (Trito-Isaiah)?
