Isa. 65:25

25 The wolf [za'eb] and the lamb [taleh] shall feed [ra`ah] together ['echad], and the lion ['ariy] shall eat ['akal] straw [teben] like the bullock [baqar]: and dust [`aphar] shall be the serpent's [nachash] meat [lechem]. They shall not hurt [ra`a`] nor destroy [shachath] in all my holy [qodesh] mountain [har], saith ['amar] the LORD [Yahovah]. KJV-Interlinear

25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain, says the LORD. NASB

This last verse in chapter 65, wraps up the list of dramatic changes that will take place when the Millennium begins.

Some changes will occur immediately and others will occur at a later time. For example, recall that when Christ arrives here at the Second Advent, the world will be at war. Christ will end the war with the almost instant annihilation of millions or billions of people. A very small remnant by comparison, will survive the war.

Christ will arrive immediately following a supernatural darkness. When the light of His arrival returns, the day and night cycle will end. There will no longer be day and night, no longer be contrasts, good and evil, throughout the world. The light of Christ will become the source of the worlds light. The world will then begin to enjoy perfect weather, and a perfect year round climate.

Satan will be chained up and hauled off, before everyone, to the Abyss. There he will remain for 1000 years, or the duration of the Millennium. With the lock up of Satan, his source and pattern of evil, will be eliminated for the remainder of human history.

Still the world will be covered with the dead bodies of millions or billions of people. That clean up job will be huge. It will not only take several months to bury the dead, but since the count of the dead will be in such huge numbers, God will bring the scavenger birds and animals to their last great feast of flesh.

Simultaneous with these first events, the genetics of the remnant will begin to change as their health and life fonts will be strengthened and extended. Babies will be born. The world will begin its repopulation.

After the dead have been virtually eliminated, disposed of, and buried, then the animal kingdom will begin its changes.

Here in this verse, Isaiah closes out the chapter with the last of the dramatic changes that will occur in the Millennium. The ferocity of the wild animal kingdom will disappear. Lions will become tame as kittens. Even the most poisonous snakes will lose their deadly fangs and threat to others.

Isa. 11:6-9

6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the kid, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.

7 Also the cow and the bear will graze; Their young will lie down together; And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 And the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.

9 They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. NASB

The bulk of the dangers in life will disappear, and peace and security, and threats of many kinds will cease to exist.

The arrogance in Satan brought about his own self-imposed down fall. He in effect tempted himself and fell for his own self-imposed imagined glory. Man, on the other hand, was initially tempted not by himself, but by the eternal interference of Satan.

The removal of Satan for the 1000-year period of the Millennium, will further prove his guilt in causing the massive downfalls of history. The snake will continue to move about on its belly, as he has been perpetually condemned, as Satan is condemned, but as Satan is removed, so also will be the venomous poison and threat of the snake, as Satan s venomous poisons for history have been removed.

The threat of war, a limited life font, starvation, and many other things, will be removed from life. With the removal of mans rule, and with the advent of Christ s rule, the Millennium will see the most prosperous and productive period, of all of human history.

In Christ, there is always the promise of blessing, prosperity, and a full long life. Without Christ, there is nothing.

Now is the time to post a prayer.
