They shall Dwell, Graze, and Lie Down Together in Peace PHRASE


They shall Dwell, Graze, and Lie Down Together in Peace PHRASE

*** The Phrase "dwell, graze, and lie down (safety) are words used to describe the New Covenant, not a 1,000 year Earthly Millennial Reign***. Support is below.

Isaiah 11:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain
;

for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea

Isaiah 65:25 English Standard Version (ESV)
25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
    the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
    and dust shall be the serpent's food.
They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain
,”
says the Lord.

These two passages above are known for being associated with the literal 1,000 Earthly Millenial Reign. As you can see further down, it is not. It is the figurative description of the New Covenant.

 

Zephaniah 3:13 English Standard Version (ESV)

13     those who are left in Israel;
they shall do no injustice
    and speak no lies,
nor shall there be found in their mouth
    a deceitful tongue.
For they shall graze and lie down,
    and none shall make them afraid
.”
