pastor esteban came to devotions today.
he talked about isaiah 11:6-9

"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.

They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. "

his three observations were that:

1. supernatural things are going on (unnatural animal relationships happening here)
2. there is an absence of fear (predators and prey are coexisting in harmony)
3. peace and restoration

so he proposed the idea that the diversity of animals can be compared to the diversity of humanity, including race and all that. so as the kingdom is restored, reconciliation is increased. and not just living with one another, but also helping one another and unheard of things, like eating each others' food. hehe.

anyway, i like that the knowledge of the Lord fills the earth.

and then there is peace.
