Here is some astounding Lion shall lie down with the Lamb residue
John MacArthur
Begin quote:
“covenant called the Palestinian covenant in which God promises them a restoration to the land and the occupation of the original grant of that land and then along comes the Davidic covenant in 2nd Samuel chapter seven and they are promised a kingdom and a glorious king out of the loins of David they were also promised a new covenant Jeremiah 31 where the whole nation would be blessed a whole nation would become righteous the whole nation would know God they also were told by the prophets that the kingdom would be glorious the lion would lie down with the lamb and children could play in a snake pit and the whole topography of the planet would be changed and the Lord would create a river flowing from Jerusalem out to make the desert blossom like a rose they had all kinds of things in the Old Testament to look to that there would come the prevailing peace and joy and comfort the absence of poverty the absence of sickness long life if you died 100 years the prophet said you die as a baby they knew all of that they knew that the kingdom”
What a powerful message Yet there is our lion lying down with the lamb together Who knows when this particular sermon was made My guess would have been any time before 2012 Just my guess though The second video was uploaded in 2015 Would someone care to explain why he quotes this so late in the game

“end of section two and the last two uh have to go more quickly verse 10 is the third section so maybe i didn’t summarize verses six to nine lion lying down with the lamb and um the earth filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the as the waters cover the sea is a description of the new heavens and the new earth in the making in their millennial expression”
OK, I would guess we could call this a head scratcher for sure We know that this was from 2015 because that’s the date of the conference he was at The third and last video was uploaded in 2013 And he has an interesting preaching style Yeah its a preacher thingy to notice styles
Pastor Bob DeGray
Begin quote:
“do in our day we picture nations as well the Russian bear the American eagle the Chinese dragon so what Isaiah would be saying is that these nations that were predators of Syria Egypt and the like and those nations that were often prey Israel Judah Syria Phoenicia they will no longer be in that conflict but they will live at peace with each other the imagery paints a beautiful warm picture of peace as the lamb and lion lie down together as the nursing child plays as a little child leads them this little child probably represents if these are nations the nation of Juda”
As always folks I’m your servant in Christ Jesus
