Catholics see another connection between Isaiah and St. John!
2,700 years ago, Isaiah Is 65:21 Prophesied the earthly Jerusalem to which His People shall return!
“They shall live in the houses they build, and eat the fruit of the vineyards they plant.” His Prophecy came true. All the Israelites who loved and obeyed God returned to Jerusalem.

700 years later, St. John “updated” that Prophecy from Isaiah. St. John told us what Jesus told him about the Holy Food that He would provide in “The New Jerusalem”.
Rev 2:7 “Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: those who prove victorious I will feed from the tree of life set in God’s paradise.”

Catholics have a “fore-taste” of That Holy Food. We receive Catholic Communion on earth! By The Miracle of Transubstantiation, bread and wine become The Actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
Who provides That Holy Food on earth? Our Catholic priests! They are endowed with The Power to Preside over The Miracle that gives obedient Catholics the greatest opportunity on earth!
Our souls are fed from “the tree of life” that Jesus planted on earth when He Spoke This Word!
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
In Heaven, there is nothing to distract us from Jesus!
