“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.
