"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."
Isaiah 11:6-9
I love the idea of no hurting or destroying, and that the change is because of the knowledge of the Lord, changing even animal natures, and filling the earth. ... I think how amazing it would be to experience that, but then I think that maybe we can have a taste of that kind of peace and wonder in our own lives, if we learn more of what God has been trying to teach us. We can gain some of that knowledge of the Lord if we seek it diligently from God.
Today, let's not only look forward to the day when the Earth is at rest, but also learn as much of God's ways as we can now, and, as we learn more, let's spread that knowledge and that peace as widely as we can. :)
