It is the Animals that Will Tell Us the Lord Has Come

We all know that we are promised that the Lord will once again come to earth, but many of us wonder how will we know when this glorious time is nigh? As always, we can look to the Bible for the answer… & really, it’s been there all along from some our earliest Sunday school lessons. The animals will tell us. When their behavior is once again as it was in the garden, then again Paradise is at hand, the wolf will lie down with the lamb & peace will reign upon the earth.

Isaiah 11:1-9 expresses this beautifully.

Out of the stump of David’s family[a] will grow a shoot—
    yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
He will delight in obeying the Lord.
    He will not judge by appearance
    nor make a decision based on hearsay.
He will give justice to the poor
    and make fair decisions for the exploited.
The earth will shake at the force of his word,
    and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.
He will wear righteousness like a belt
    and truth like an undergarment.

In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;
    the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.
The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,
    and a little child will lead them all.
The cow will graze near the bear.
    The cub and the calf will lie down together.
    The lion will eat hay like a cow.
The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.
    Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.
Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,
    for as the waters fill the sea,
    so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord.
