The Wolf and the Lamb shall Feed Together
Many futurist insist that the wolf and the lamb must feed together before we are considered to be in the New Heaven and earth. Saul "Paul" was like a wolf killing Christians before he was converted. Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin, which Benjamin was considered to be as a ravenous wolf. Paul also was like a wolf before meeting the Lamb of God. After that Paul did feed with the Lamb, perphaps fulfilling scripture.

Genisis 49:27 "Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil."

Romans 11:1
I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,

So who to say Isaiah wolf and lamb have not feed together, but then the futurist view is literal as always.

It is no doubt a reference to a change of nature, but not literally in animals 2500 years off into the future.

The ravenous nature of the lion and wolf is well-known, which Saul of Tarsus is a good example.

But, just as important, is the implication of timidity in the lamb being changed to the point of being fearless in the presence of the lion, wolf, or snake, which is fulfilled by the cheerful martyrdom of the saints who refused to pledge allegiance to the State and Caesar as Lord with a pinch of incense for about 250 years in the Roman arenas, until the Church was enticed to become incorporated under Caesar Constantine.

So, the imagery paints a picture of the Body of Christ as the fulfillment of the Hope of Israel.

Sadly, futurists seem too carnal-mined to get this clear imagery.

(ISAIAH 11:6) The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young
lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. (KJV)

This is a prophecy, It concerns Jesus. It had to be fulfilled the day of the cross:

(LUKE 18:31) Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by
the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. (KJV)

The Wolf Scatters the sheep. God is who scatters the Sheep. By God’s word:

(ZECHARIAH 13:7) Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against
the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the
shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine
hand upon the little ones. (KJV)

The day of the cross is when all the prophecies are fulfilled, and there are hundreds of Prophecies concerning Jesus. The day is seen as 3 pictures, the first as 4 6-hour periods is as the Four beasts with 6-wings in Revelation:

(REVELATION 4:7) And the first beast was like a lion, and the
second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man,
and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. (KJV)

(EZEKIEL 1:10) As for the likeness of their faces, they four had
the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and
they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also
had the face of an eagle. (KJV)

So the Lion and the Calf are there, they are time periods, the day as 7 days in Isaiah 30:26, seen as 3 pictures, which are also seen as days, He shall have Tribulation 10 days, the day as 1,000 years. 100 years for each time period. the Body of Christ born the day of the cross seen in Psalms 2:6/7. So when Jesus took sin at Midnight, He is spiritually dead, or the child dies 100 years old. And a Little Child shall lead them, or start the time periods.

(ISAIAH 65:20) There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor
an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die
an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old
shall be accursed. (KJV)
