Restoration of all things
Isaiah 11:6-9 " The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.
Some of the events which are to happen at the end of this age include the rupture of the church, the millennial reign of Christ which will take 1000 years and the eternal reign with Christ on the new Earth.
In the new Earth the Lord promises us that everything shall be restored. The restoration began at the crucifixion of Jesus where Christ restored man and things to God and the climax of it will be at his second coming in the new Heaven and new Earth.
In that day creation will be no longer corrupted, man will mingle with a lion and it will not hurt him. The reason why lions hurt man today is because of the fall of Adam and Eve. Even an insect like a mosquito can cause one to have malaria because of the fall! Earthquakes, Tsunami's too were not originally designed by God, they too came because of the fall of man. God has been blamed for such things like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes as acts of God but all those came as a curse on the earth after the fall.
We can be part of God's plan of restoration through evangelism and discipleship. Through evangelism and discipleship, men are being saved and reconciled back to God.
