So I woke up around 5:30 am, and I heard a message that I believe to be from God. When something like this happens, I feel it is good to share, both for the message and for any confirmation.
I very clearly heard:
"Don't let the wolf lull the lamb to sleep" (For some reason without a period as I type it).
I was also made aware of the intent of creation, that the wolf and lamb were to lie down together, but it's not so as of today.
I believe it important to share scripture to go with it too.
Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
Anyway, it hasn't been often lately, but sometimes I get something very distinctly, and felt it good to share, and maybe there is some purpose in sharing here.
Please don't argue over it, but would like feedback. Thanks.
When Jesus returns and rule the earth, there will be peace among mankind and beasts. Until then,there will be no peace in the land. Because of the fall of man in the garden of Eden , this Earth is full of sinful people.
Isaiah 65:17, 25L The lord says, I will create **NEW HEAVENS and a **NEW EARTH**! The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind...The wolf and the Lamb will feed together, and teh lion will eat straw like an ox, and dust will be the viper8s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My Holy Mountain!." says the Lord!
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 cobra's den and the young child will put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm or destroy on all My Holy Mountain, for the {NEW}**EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD**!!"
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you {**CHURCH SAINTS*} wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {Excluding the Preterists and chuckles} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.
**WE** ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE **NEW EARTH **{Where we can play with all the wild animals}, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, for the {present} first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
My interpretation for you is: 'The people you fear, you shouldn't, the people you don't fear, you should'.
Why would you fear the wolf? 1 John 4:4 ~ "Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
This is who you should fear: Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
(as I've shared before; there is such a one here who dresses himself in Scripture but his actions give him away)
Isaiah 65:17, 25L The lord says, I will create **NEW HEAVENS and a **NEW EARTH**!

I dunno who for sure the "wolf" is, but it was very clear what the message was. It's definitely not an attempt to call anybody out, but to share an experience. Usually I wouldn't wake up like that so early in the morning. I actually went back to sleep shortly after, but I made the post here first.
This is another case in point of missing the context.
The term “wolf” and “lamb” for example, are used differently in scripture but the context in which they are used should provide some pretty clear clues as to their meaning.
All the animals mentioned in the thread introduction are clearly real animals, ie real wolves and real lambs.
When Jesus rules, even the animals will be at peace, kinda like they were when God created a perfect world in the beginning. It all was free of bloodshed, sin or any other kind of violence.
Yes David, but I believe they are representative of character in the context in which I heard them. More in the sense of "be on guard" of something. Maybe the "wolf" is acting out of ignorance due to its nature, but that's not serving the original purpose of the wolf.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Good to look at things from different angles. :)
TOTH, you said: “Yes David, but I believe they are representative of character in the context in which I heard them. More in the sense of "be on guard" of something. Maybe the "wolf" is acting out of ignorance due to its nature, but that's not serving the original purpose of the wolf.” End quote
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say in your post above.
What in the Isaiah passage leads you to “be on guard” or to believe “...the “wolf" is acting out of ignorance due to its nature, but that's not serving the original purpose...”.
I’m sorta clueless to what you mean. If you want to explain more about this that’s fine, if not that’s fine too.
All I'm doing is sharing. I'm certain it came from God, but I don't fully understand it as of right now. Sometimes it's good to bounce things off other believers for confirmation or possibly understanding. :)
"I was also made aware of the intent of creation, that the wolf and lamb were to lie down together,"
end quotes.
Toth states - "Don't let the wolf lull the lamb to sleep" end quote.
I don't know what to think about that Toth, the wolf lulling the lamb to sleep. Hmmmmm To me its like you said, to be on some kind of guard. I think its also to not be careless in thinking just because the wolf is calm and lying down now does not mean he might not strike when we are asleep!!!??? Yicks. Sounds like satan is the wolf and we are not to be like sleepy lambs snoozing, thinking everything is ok today, not reading and studying our Bibles and then that old devil strikes like a wolf! OUCH!
But then Toth shares the rest of what was shown him, namely "I was also made aware of the intent of creation, that the wolf and lamb were to lie down together," and to me I think YHWH wanted you to start this thread to point out what will be restored in the plane of the New Earth back to the beginning! How was it then?
Isaiah the prophet tells us of the restoration from the ending (sometime time soon now) to the beginning (Genesis Creation then).
Its like Cupcake writes - "there will be peace among mankind and beasts"
Isaiah 11:6-9 NLT "In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all. The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm. Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD."
Isaiah 65:25 NLT "The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. But the snakes will eat dust. In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain. I, the LORD, have spoken!"
So lets go back to GENESIS, shall we Toth!? I think we have much to learn in how things were then, the diet of humans and animals. Right?
Genesis 1:26 & 28, tells us that mankind was given permission to "rule" over all the creatures then and today. Right?
NIV 26. Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
NIV 28. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Seems clear to me YHWH gave us the privilege to maintain His Creation of creatures, name them and not to abuse them. OK? Did he say to eat them from the beginning??? Lets let the Bible tell us, shall we?
Genesis 1:29 NIV Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
So is it safe to say that YHWH gave ONLY instructions to eat plants here? "Every seed-bearing plant" and "every tree that has fruit with seed in it" that it was the ONLY thing mean't for food for humans then? What do you think? Please share Toth!
But what about animals? What did they eat from the beginning?
Genesis 1:30 NIV "And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so."
Seems clear to me that even animals/creatures ate ONLY "every green plant for food" just like humans! Right? Please share your thoughts and wisdom Toth! I value what you post, you make it easier for me to understand from your perspective!
So according to Isaiah everything will be restored in the plane of the New rebuilt Earth back to the beginning! Humans will NOT eat animals anymore and animals/creatures will not eat each other. Correct?
I'm sure you have more to add Toth, its your thread but my guessing of its interpretation. I could be all wrong!!!
