In his great prophetic vision of the Millenium, the prophet Isaiah tells us more of what life will be like during the 1,000-year reign of Christ from Jerusalem. He says, “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together,and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s 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). We see from this that there will be animals. God loves animals. He created them before He created people. It seems their nature will be changed. “The lion will lie down with the lamb.” There will also be children and child-rearing. These are the children of Tribulation survivors. Finally, all creation will be full of the knowledge of the Lord. Biblical truth will not be hard to find. The earth will be full of it.
