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.
Isaiah 11:6-9 NIV

Perhaps the images below illustrate this passage in some small way. These were sent me by Presbytera Candace, and I have already forwarded an email with them to some of you, but I want to share them here as well. A foretaste of the Millennium?

Norbert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada's Hudson Bay.
The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the polar bear wandered in.
CLICK the images to zoom them!

“I come in peace…”




It's hard to believe that this polar bear only needed to hug someone!
The polar bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs!

I LOVE THESE PICTURES THANKS FOR SHARING
How I long for the day when creation is liberated,
I look forward to the day when I can hug a polar bear without any fear....
