Will animals still fear humans and each other in the new creation?
No. In the restored creation, wildlife will no longer fear humans or other species, being restored as before Adam fell. Nothing will eat meat or kill another species for livelihood; everything will eat what grows naturally, as it will be when the Kingdom is set up.
Les teaches that the creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption and restored as it was before Adam fell. In that restoration, wildlife will no longer fear other things of their various species, nor will they have fear of man. Les reminds us that before Adam sinned, nothing ate meat and nothing killed another species for its livelihood; everything ate what grew naturally—grass, herbs, nuts, and berries. So it will be when the Kingdom is set up. The creation will be delivered, and the children of God will gain control of it. When a person becomes a believer, he becomes a child of God. All creation waits for the day when Christ will rule as King of Kings, and believers will rule and reign with Him, having dominion over this glorious new creation brought out from underneath the curse. Until then, the whole creation groans and travails in pain.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
