OUR FATHER WHOSE REIGN WILL BRING TRUE PEACE ON EARTH

The book of Isaiah chapter 11 verse 7 says this;

The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together,  and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

This verse, part of a passage that speaks of the Messiah's second arrival on earth to save the remnant of his people and establish His reign on the earth, illustrates the effect that His reign will  have on the natural world.

It discusses how the animal kingdom will be altered so that it no longer operates on the tooth-and-claw (prey and predator) principle but rather on a model of coexistence and cooperation.

The devourers of the realm are rendered harmless and this can be extended to be an illustration of how the devourers of the spiritual realm will being neutralized as threats.

Amen.
