Isaiah 65:21-22

[21] And they shall build  houses,  and inhabit  them; and they shall plant  vineyards,  and eat  the fruit  [22] They shall not build,  and another  inhabit;  they shall not plant,  and another  eat:  for as the days  of a tree  are the days  of my people,  and mine elect  shall long enjoy  the work  of their hands. 

What does Isaiah 65:21-22 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Likewise there will be abundant safety and plenty when God brings new life to the world (cf. Isaiah 17:11; Leviticus 26:16; Deuteronomy 28:15-46; Amos 5:11; Zephaniah 1:13). Again, people will live longer: longer than God"s other creations such as trees, and longer than their own "creations," such as buildings and bridges that normally outlive them (cf. Isaiah 40:6-8).
"What a promise, to have the time to do something right and then the opportunity to enjoy it to the full!" [1]
Note that people will continue to work. The blessing of work will characterize the messianic age, though people will not have to labor as they did under the curse ( Genesis 3:17-19).
