In the Future, God will purify the entire earth and nullify evil along with all of its manifestations. At that time all corporeality and physicality will be distilled and transformed
into supernal luminescence. The entirety of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil will literally be reconstructed into the Tree of Life.
The skin of the Leviathan, as well, will be reconverted from "garments of skin" (Kotnot Or with an Ayin) to "garments of light" (Kotnot Or with an Aleph).
That which is now the skin of the Orlah [both anatomically and conceptually] will become part of the crown [of the Brit Kodesh] itself. Its skin will become [absorbed into] the flesh, "totally consecrated (kodesh) unto God."
The three utterly evil layers of true Orlah... will be completely nullified, while the fourth layer, the Nogah, the essence of the skin which is essentially good, will remain and revert to the original holiness of the flesh. (Leshem Sh'vo VeAchlamah, De'ah 2:4:10:3, p. 100 (50d).
