Ezekiel 34:25. And will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land:
So he will. There were once more wolves than sheep; now there are more sheep than wolves; and the day shall come when the saints shall possess the land. "The meek shall inherit the earth." Meanwhile, in the ways of God, "no lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon." "And they shall dwell safely in the wilderness," where they seemed to be quite defenseless; there they shall be safe, and they shall "sleep in the woods," in the very lairs of the wild beasts. There shall they be so safe that they shall feel safe, and shall even go to sleep. So "he giveth his beloved sleep." "And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing," for God does not bless men that they may keep the blessing to themselves. If he blesses them he makes them a blessing, and their surroundings become a blessing.
