Animals in the Bible
Sermonette by Ronny H. GrahamAs people began to domesticate animals, they removed many disparaging stigmas, even to the point that they promote animals to the status of family members.
Why Are Animals Hostile and Violent Toward Humans and Animals (Isaiah 11:6)?
Bible Questions & AnswersThere is a reason the animal kingdom suffers strife and violence. Before sin entered the world, God's creation existed in total harmony and peace. Due to disobedience and rebellion, the earth came under a curse, changing the nature of most wild animals to become fierce and hostile toward man and each other. Thankfully, when Jesus Christ intervenes and establishes God's Kingdom on earth, there will be a restoration of all things. The nature of animals will again be gentle and tame. Wolves shall dwell with lambs, leopards shall lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and fatlings together, and a little child shall lead them. Cows and bears shall graze, their young ones shall lie down together, and lions shall eat straw like oxen. Nursing children shall play by cobras' holes, and weaned children shall put their hands in vipers' dens without harm. When Jesus Christ establishes God's government on earth, the nature of animals, including poisonous snakes and spiders, will be changed, bringing peace and prosperity to the entire earth.
