Animals in the New Earth?

We're all used to having animals around.From the Biblical point, God created animals even before Man.He had Adam name the animals.At the flood, when Noahs family was saved in the Ark, God also saved the animals, 2 of each,to go out and breed again.In the New Testament, Jesus rode in on a donkey.In Revelation, we read of Jesus sitting on a white HORSE, which is an animal.In the Millenium, we stil hear of animals{"the lion will lay down with the lamb",etc.Jesus was called the lamb of God,.Obviously, God figures animals into things.When Adam and Eve fell, death entered the animal kingdom,too because they are part of the creation.But now the question: we hear about animals until the millennium,but they're not mentioned either way in the New Heaven and Earth.SOO..before you say,"Why would God create something, then change His mind and do away with it?"Before you say that,remember, God also created the sea,but in Revelation we read,"Then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth, for the old Heaven and Earth had passed away, AND THE SEA IS NO MORE". Now God created the sea and did away with it, could that apply to animals?The difference I see is that the sea is not alive, but animals are a living creation. I lean towards thinking there will be animals after the new creation. But, they're not mentioned after the Millenium, and God did away with the sea. What do you think?

The answers you seek are found in the Word of God. If I tell you or show you doesn't that keep you from the joy of finding the truth on your own and being instructed by God Himself? If the sea is dead then why does He say living water? If there is no sea does that mean there won't be rivers of living waters? If we don't think about things from a spiritual sense, from God's perspective, how will we know anything? Isn't the sea a spirit being that gives life through gills to creatures of the sea? If the sea is dead than how do the creatures get life from the sea?

Alright, that's the sea. But animals? That was the main question, but you didn't mention that.They're not mentioned after the Milenium.

I did say your answer is in the scriptures buddy. Sometimes we must ask God to help us and when He does it is a wonderful feeling. I used to ask a lot of questions to Godly friends but it was when I asked God that I truly learned and found some things hidden in places that blew my mind. How many times have you read the entire Bible?

Isaiah 11:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 11 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring
11 There shall come forth a [a]Rod from the [b]stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall [c]grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”

11 It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the [d]islands of the sea.

12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will [e]assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four [f]corners of the earth.
13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the [g]people of the East;
They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
15 The Lord will utterly [h]destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over [i]the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over [j]dry-shod.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,
As it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.

The entire Bible? Twice,that was a long time ago.But mentioning if there are animals in the New Earth,I don't recall seeing that.Some of the prophets mention the New Earth,and in Revelation again,but I don't recall specifically seeing, "a rhinocerous did this, and a giraffe did that" in the New Earth.God can show me in the Spirit,but in the Millenium it mentions animals but I don't see them specifically mentioned in the New Earth.I think that they will be there, they're part of Gods creation, and they didn't cause the Fall, Man did.

I've heard some Christians say that refers to the Millenium.

What do you say? May I make a suggestion to you? Thank You. You need to search these Scriptures for yourself. You need to know that you know that you know. Get in a good Bible Teaching Church. Go to Bible Study. Ask your Pastor these questions. Buy you some good Bible Commentaries. I am attaching one to this e-mail.

You make me smile in Jesus joy sister. I knew Steven thought of that as millennial so I didn't see a purpose in a presentation
