We are at the end of the Christian Year when we focus on Christ the King – the time when God will be able to finally put things right again like they were at creation – perfect, because the problem with sin has been taken care of for those who have united with God’s Son and Messiah, our Savior Jesus Christ. If you look at the story of creation – the way God intended, it – it was perfect and all we had to do was what God said to. Why wouldn’t we want to always do what someone like God, who truly loves us, wants us to do? In the beginning everything was good, except for Adam being alone, and God fixed that too. There was no death, no destruction, Adam was a companion to all of creation – even the ground responded to him – it was perfect. Will it ever be perfect again? 
     Isaiah 11:6-9 reads: 6The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. 7The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den. 9They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. 
      Who ever heard of lions and bears eating straw, grass, and plants exclusively? 
      From Genesis 1:29-31: 29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 
       It was not just good, it was perfect, and it will be again for those who hold on to Christ till the end. As Revelation 2:26-29 says: 26 To everyone who conquers and continues to do my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations; 27to rule them with an iron rod, as when clay pots are shattered— 28even as I also received authority from my Father. To the one who conquers I will also give the morning star. 29 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
