In the ancient Near East, lions were common predators and symbolized danger and destruction. The absence of lions indicates a divine protection and a restoration of creation to a state of harmony. This imagery aligns with the prophetic vision of a new creation where natural threats are eliminated, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/11-6.htm">Isaiah 11:6-9</a>, where the wolf dwells with the lamb.<p><b>and no vicious beast will go up on it</b><br>The mention of "vicious beast" extends the idea of safety to include all forms of danger, not just lions. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God’s protection over His people. In the context of Isaiah, this promise is part of the eschatological hope for Israel, where God’s kingdom is fully realized, and His people are secure. This can be connected to <a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>, where there is no more death or mourning, symbolizing the ultimate peace and safety in God's presence.<p><b>Such will not be found there</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the certainty and completeness of the safety promised. It reassures that the threats are not merely absent temporarily but are permanently removed. This assurance is part of the prophetic vision of the Messianic age, where God’s reign is fully established, and His people experience eternal peace. It reflects the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel and, by extension, to all believers.<p><b>but the redeemed will walk upon it</b><br>The "redeemed" refers to those who have been saved or delivered by God. In the context of Isaiah, this likely refers to the Israelites returning from exile, symbolizing spiritual and physical restoration. The concept of redemption is central to the biblical narrative, pointing to the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ. This phrase can be connected to passages like <a href="/isaiah/51-11.htm">Isaiah 51:11</a> and <a href="/revelation/5-9.htm">Revelation 5:9</a>, where the redeemed are those who have been purchased by the blood of the Lamb and walk in the newness of life.
