“The
wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf
together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear
shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall
eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of
the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's
den. They shall not hurt or 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
This specific
description of peace is given after the events that happen in
Revelation 19 and 20. We learn that the peace exists because sin and
the consequences of sin are destroyed. There is no evil. There is no
violence and hatred. The creation no longer has the consequences of
sin and is peaceful. We have difficulty believing that a wolf would
dwell with a lamb; however, after sin, death, and evil is defeated,
creation will once again be pure and peaceful. The leopard and the
young goat will lie down together without harming one another. The
calf and the lion will lie down together without hurting one another.
This tells us that violence, hatred, envy, and jealousy will no
longer exist.
This tells us of the
Utopia that has not been created yet and will not be created in this
world. This world is prophesied to be destroyed. The mountains will
be brought low. The islands will flee. The skies will be rolled away.
This all talks about GOD Almighty's Dominion, Sovereignty, and
Authority to destroy the Old Earth and the Old Heavens.
This is to fulfill
the prophecy GOD Almighty gave to King Jesus Christ to tell to His
disciples. These events are described by Enoc, Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos, Obediah, Zephaniah, Micah, Jesus Christ,
Peter, Paul, and John. This is so that they could tell them to the
future disciples, apostles, prophets, and believers who would be in
the latter ages.
Enoc was able to
prophesy about King Jesus Christ issuing judgment and destroying His
enemies being the seventh from Adam. This tells us that the prophecy
was known from the beginning of time by those that were righteous in
the eyes of GOD Almighty. We learn that Enoc is considered righteous
and is even taken to Heaven without experiencing death. We learn that
Enoc is able to prophesy in the Spirit of Truth about events in the
future.
He speaks about a
time when King Jesus Christ would return and judge the wicked, but be
able to spare the righteous. We learn that the righteous will inherit
the land and will live out the years similar to the years that Enoc
lived. This speaks of the thousand year reign of King Jesus Christ in
the New Earth. Enoc's generation was known to live for eight hundred
years or longer. Those who are righteous will live for a thousand
years during the reign of King Jesus Christ. This is consistent with
the blessings spoken of by Enoc of those who were righteous. The
righteous would be blessed, helped, and prospered. We learn that this
is consistent with the writings of Jude who states similar beliefs.
It is through hope in our LORD and Savior King Jesus Christ that we
are able to gain salvation. We must continue to believe in King Jesus
Christ in order to obtain eternal life.
