Quote:Isaiah 11
6 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.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 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.
As I was taught, Huggy, these verses refer to the coming of the kingdom. The 1000 years when god will rule over the nations. NOW - - in your defense, this is Isaiah. So it's a rule of the Messiah prophecy, maybe. Jesus hadn't arrived on the scene yet. But, I was taught that this didn't apply to heaven. And, of course, nearly everything that I was taught was a load of bullcrap.
SO - - and since I don't believe heaven exists - - whatever. Carry on.
