Ever since I was very young this has fascinated me. Imagine, the mightiest and fiercest laying with those they have hunted and killed, in perfect harmony. So gentle, a small child need not fear being around them. The imagery of the lion and lamb together without conflict is a powerful image today and probably more so in Isaiah's time. Think of this - the prophet proclaiming, "They will neither harm nor destroy on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." (Isa 11:9) Hallelujia!
