[The Harp of God by J. F. Rutherford]@TWC D-Link bookThe Harp of God CHAPTER XI 45/225
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."-- Isaiah 11:4,5. [590]The beneficial effect of his righteous reign is also pictured by the Prophet, in the passage which shows how that the wild beasts of the earth will become subject to man, and how a little child shall direct them.
"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.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den."-- Isaiah 11:6-8. [591]All must come to a knowledge of the truth; and those obeying it will have their sins and iniquities wiped out for ever.
Thus says the Prophet: "They shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least to the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:34) When the Lord remembers their iniquities and sins no more, then it must be that they are restored.
