A text quoted by millennial teachers everywhere is found in Isa. 11:6-8: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.” In the next verse you will learn where this peacefulness shall reign. “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain.” It is in God’s holy mountain where they shall not hurt nor destroy. What is God’s holy mountain? It is Zion, the church. “And it shall come to pass in the last days [the gospel days] that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations [both Jew and Gentile] shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye; and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Isa. 2:2, 3. This is surely too plain to need comment, Zion is the Lord’s mountain. The wolf dwelling with the Lamb is figurative language, and never will be literally fulfilled, but has been spiritually and figuratively fulfilled throughout the whole of this Christian dispensation. It shows the wonders of God’s grace. Jesus called Herod a “fox.” Luke 13:32. He certainly did not mean that he was truly a fox, but that he had a thieving, dishonest, foxlike disposition. Paul says, “Beware of dogs.” Phil. 3:2. He is not giving us a warning against this literal animal, but against men that have a fierce and doglike nature. Jesus again says, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Mat. 7:15. Here we learn that men are inwardly ravening wolves; that is, they have a devouring, wolflike disposition. Thus we could continue. In Isa. 35:9 it says that no lion shall be in the highway of holiness. In a Christian’s holy life there is no lionlike nature. God’s salvation saves men from such dispositions. And the whole of Isa. 11:6-8 is a prophecy relating to this present time, when the salvation of Jesus saves men from all wolf, bear, lion, and leopardlike natures, and fills all with a peaceable nature, that an innocent child shall lead them.
