"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." --(Isaiah 11:6)
There is a fascinating video on YouTube of two young men who rescued a lion cub and raised it until it grew too big to keep. At that time they took it to Africa and released it into the wild, hoping it would survive. A couple of years later, they returned to Africa to see if they could find their lion friend and if so, would he recognize and accept them. To their great delight they were able to relocate that lion. He came running to them, just as playfully as he did when he was a cub. What a joyful reunion!
I was struck with the divine message that the video brought to mind. A brief glimpse of future grace was revealed in nature. One day, as Isaiah says, the lion will lie down with the lamb and the King of Kings will rule over all. Animosity at all levels will be no more. All "wildness" will be tamed.
Nature provides glimpses of the Gospel, sky and tree and rock testifying to His greatness. These revelations do not replace Scripture but provide beautiful illustrations of Bible truth. --- There is a future that the hearts of all mankind long for; the Kingdom of God in its fullness!
(I did find several versions of the YouTube mentoned above. This one is by far the best. You don't need the music, yet it brings a special joy in your heart, as you watch and listen. I replayed 3:00 +, several times!) ENJOY!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
