In Isaiah, chapter eleven, verses six through nine, the Messianic age will be characterized by the absence of enmity, brutality, and hostility, here symbolized by tranquility among animals. The Messiah will bring peace to earth and transform believers and nature as the final fruit of redemption, as in chapter thirty-five, verses eight to ten. “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind,” as in Isaiah sixty-five, verse seventeen. This prophecy foresees God’s future kingdom on earth, where death and sin shall be no more. “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD,” as in Isaiah sixty-five, verse twenty-five. Peace and safety will characterize the Messianic kingdom. Once wild-animals will be tamed, and perfect harmony will exist.
Today on earth, in every place you go, there is good and evil. On one side, you see people trying to do good and live righteously: On the other side, you have people doing the opposite, living unrighteously.
