Isa 11:6-8 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest.

The above Scripture introduces us into another change from what we are used to. God’s original plan for this earth was for every creature to be vegetarian. But, when spiritual disease (sin) was introduced into the planet, many things changed. Spiritual disease contaminated God’s perfect creation and plan.

Man, who was given the freedom of choice, chose to follow Satan’s advice. The moment that happened, the planet started suffering from Satan’s influence. We did, the animals did, and the planet all started suffering from satanic evil. We started eating animals, animals started eating us and one another, and everything got contaminated with diseases and deterioration.

Once spiritual disease (sin) has been removed from those who are willing, THEY will be allowed to live in God’s Kingdom. There, we and all the animals will be vegetarian; plus, there will be no need for defense mechanisms and weapons. We will be able to trust the creatures and the creatures will be able to trust us. We won’t need to protect ourselves from them by shooting them. They won’t need to protect themselves from us by biting, poisoning, or mauling us; and, neither of us will eat the other as food.

God is going to allow you to experience many of the benefits of this Kingdom structure now. Once you join it, He will bless the toil and labor that you do with your hands. He prospers those who put their trust in Him.

The beasts and poisonous creatures that would typically be out to kill you are under His control. He will protect you from their deadly influence for as long as you don’t take unnecessary risks with these creatures. He isn’t going to empower you to be a snake handler or lion trainer. But He will watch over you during your “normal” course of life. Through His current protection, you will get glimpses into the Kingdom you will be a part of for eternity.

This “knowledge of the Lord” is what God is trying to get mankind to listen to now. If we listen to and start living it, our lives begin changing drastically from that moment on. Additionally, we all become candidates for being citizens of the Kingdom of God. One of the reasons you can be allowed to enter God’s Kingdom is because you receive complete deliverance from all spiritual disease.

Just like it would be wrong for someone with a highly contagious disease to be allowed to go around infecting others, God isn’t going to allow spiritually diseased people to get into His disease-free Kingdom; BUT, everyone can choose to be cured.
