Fay,

I liked how you showed how sorrow is very much in the picture, at this time, but not in the future.

I believe that Jesus is grieved by the death of each of his creatures, including the animals, especially when the death is painful or horrific.

When he created them, they were at peace with each other, and will be again in the future, like the scripture that you referenced.

Jesus, clearly prefers to see wolves and lambs dwelling together, rather than a wolf terrorizing a little lamb, and tearing him apart with his teeth.

The evil things came about as a result of man sinning, and the animals suffer because of it.

Not only would a lamb enjoy life so much more by not being terrorized, killed, and eaten,

but no doubt, a wolf would enjoy life so much more by being like a little puppy.

Jesus, also, will greatly enjoy his creation so much more, in that future.
