You completely leave out "death" that appears in Is 65. For as the days of a Tree, so shall be the days of My people.
Are you admitting that you believe there is DEATH in the New Heavens and New Earth? Why would there be death in the NHNE?

I'm not admitting anything of the sort. "For as the days of a Tree, so shall be the days of My people." Do you not understand this metaphor?

Could it be the tree of Life..once in the Garden now in heaven??

Isaiah mixes the Millennial reign with the eternal reign, as he does the First and Second advents (Isa.61:1-2 cf Lk 4:18).
The book of Revelation clarifies the order.
In Isa 65:20 you have not only death mentioned but sin, which cannot exist in the final New Heavens and Earth (a Kingdom of Righteousness).
Moreover, vs.22 is not speaking of 'death' but the length of time the Jews will inhabit the land.
The Tree metaphor is used to show a continual prosperity (Psa.1:3)
