A Picture of Changed Hearts
Commentators overwhelmingly agree this verse is a powerful metaphor. The wolf and leopard symbolize people with cruel, predatory natures. The lamb and kid represent the gentle and innocent. The prophecy shows that the Messiah's reign will radically transform violent hearts, creating peace and safety among people who were once enemies. This change is a direct result of the gospel's power.
