Why did Isaiah record the below passage? When will it be fulfilled? The wolf and the lamb

shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD” - Isa 65:25

A shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse David’s line has not

seen a King in more than 2000 years

The current system is democratic and does not depend on lineage

But And a Shoot goes out

from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch will bear fruit out of his roots. [Isa 11:1]

What Does this shoot do? Bring Justice

And He is made to breathe in the fear of Jehovah.

But He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

But He shall judge the poor in righteousness, and shall decide rightly for the meek of the earth.

And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and He shall cause the wicked to die with the breath of His lip. [Isa 11:3-4]

A Glorious scene of Peace and Justice – When? Where?

And the wolf shall live with the lamb;

and the leopard shall lie with the kid;

and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and

a little boy shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall feed,

their young shall lie together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the infant shall play on the hole

of the asp; yea, the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper's den.

They shall not do evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea. [Isa 11:6-9]

World Central Rule to be established in Jerusalem

And it shall be in the last days, the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;

and all nations shall flow into it. And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to the mount of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach from His ways, and we will walk in His paths. (Also Mic 4:1,2)

For out of Zion the Law will go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people.

And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. [Isa 2:2-4]

The Prophet Zechariah also saw a similar vision

So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet come peoples, and those living in many cities. And those living in one shall go to another, saying, Let us go at once to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of Hosts; I will go also. And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah. So says Jehovah of Hosts: In those days ten men out of all languages of the nations shall take hold, and will seize the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you. [Zec 8:20-23]

The Prophet Daniel also prophesied of a future world government to be setup in this world

And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. [Dan 2:44]

Jesus is the Messiah (The Anointed) Future Ruler of the World

Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and He shall do justice and righteousness in the earth. [Jer 23:5]

Jesus will come AGAIN to Rulethis World

And saying these things, as they looked on, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their sight. And as they were intently looking into the heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white clothing stood by them, who also said, Men, Galileans, why do you stand looking up to the heaven?

This Jesus, the One being taken from you into the heaven, will come in the way you saw Him going into the heaven. [Act 1:9-11]

What is the Christian Hope of Life after Death? What was the hope of Disciples?

Then answering, Peter said to Him, Behold, we left all things and followed You. What then shall be to us? And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you,

You who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [Mat 19:27-28]

What is the Christian Hope of Life after Death? What is our hope?

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will separate them from each other as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.

"Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [Mat 25:31-34]

God’s ultimate Plan for this Earth – Comfort provided, Death eradicated And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,

coming down out of Heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for her Husband.

And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying,

Behold, the tabernacle of God with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be

His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor outcry, nor will there be pain any more; for the

first things passed away. [Rev 21:2-4]
