What is Isaiah 11's peaceful animal scene connected to in Romans 8?
The peaceful animal scene in Isaiah 11, where the wolf dwells with the lamb and eats grass, depicts the animal kingdom after the curse is lifted. This is the same restoration that creation is looking forward to in Romans chapter 8.
Les teaches that nature today is laboring under the curse, as seen in the prairie chicken's constant danger from the hawk. He explains that Isaiah 11 describes the animal kingdom after the curse is lifted, when the wolf will dwell with the lamb and eat grass and berries. That future condition is what creation is looking forward to in Romans chapter 8.
