The other half mentioned are prey: lamb, kid, calf, cow, and baby. The nature and instinct of a predator is to eat the prey. A predator would need an entirely new nature in order to resist eating prey so near at hand. On God’s holy mountain, in His kingdom, a new order is in place. “There shall be no harm or ruin on all My holy mountain” (Is...
