UNIVERSAL PEACE (animals and man)

Y The wolf shall dwell with the lamb. The leopard shall lie down with the young goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling shall lie down together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall feed together, their young ones shall lie down together. The lion shall eat straw like the ox. A nursing baby shall play over the hole of the asp, and an infant shall put his hand on the den of the cockatrice (adder). They shall not hurt or destroy in all My Holy Mountain (Kingdom), for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord like the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:6-9

Y Be glad and rejoice forever in the things I am creating, for I will create Jerusalem to be a cause for rejoicing and her people shall be a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and delight in My people. The sound of weeping and crying shall not be heard in her any more. From that time and on, there shall not be in it an infant that lives only a few days, nor an old man who has not lived his full life. Whoever dies at a hundred years shall be considered to have died in his childhood. But the sinner who dies a hundred years old shall be considered accursed.

They shall build houses and live in them. They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit from them. They shall not build and have another occupy it, they shall not plant and have another to eat the fruit. My people shall live lives as long as that of a tree, and My elect shall enjoy the work of their hands for a long time. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children destined to trouble, because they are the children of those who are the blessed of the Lord, they and their descendants after them.

It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. Dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My Holy Mountain (kingdom), says the Lord .Isaiah 65:18-25

Y He shall judge between the nations and shall settle disputes for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they train for war anymore. Isaiah 2:4

Y In That Day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the birds of the air, with creeping things of the ground. Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth, to make them lie down safely. Hosea 2:18

When the world is continually living in true and perfect righteousness and justice it will be pleasing to God and as such God will grant the universal peace men have always sought. That is like the peace that existed in the Garden of Eden before the moment in time when Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. That disobedience destroyed the prospect of peace on earth and brought in hatred, fear, violence, disharmony, deterioration, disease, distrust, decay and death.

All of the promises of good that God gave to men of the Bible promising blessings were always conditioned upon man's faithful conformity toward the commandments and requirements of God. When men faithfully obey the will of God, they find that God in turn blesses them with all good things, but when we turn away, God sends His judgments against a rebellious people.

For that reason, during the Kingdom age, obedience will be mandatory and justice will be swift and final. Therefore, with Christ giving the commandments from Jerusalem Himself, and enforcing God's law, with the Holy Spirit indwelling mankind and making the Laws of God honorable in the hearts of all mankind. God will then be willing to give us universal peace and prosperity that we will never be able to achieve without Him.

As King of kings, and Lord of lords personally ruling an obedient earth God will finally give us what we have always desired. even to the extent of friendly peaceful relation with all creation including the animal kingdom

The fact that everyone does what is right in his own eyes at the present time instead of searching out and obeying the commandments of God is the reason mankind will never achieve true universal peace until Jesus comes to set up the Kingdom of God here on this earth.

Let us prepare our hearts today to be ready to obey God now. It will bring a blessing for us now and prepare us for His Kingdom of perfect righteousness.
