In short, the book teaches every human being to be a good person as instructed by the Creator Himself, God Almighty. It starts right from the beginning of time by outlining God’s intentions in the creation of humans and more specifically what He wished the human being to become. The writer then narrates the “detours” of life that the human being encountered which made him to be what he is today. Nevertheless the author expounds to the reader that God foreknew today’s characteristics of the human being and spoke of a prophecy through prophet Isaiah which is recorded in Isaiah 11:6-9. This prophecy then becomes the centrepiece of the book. We all know that most of the prophecies that were spoken through prophet Isaiah came to pass. The gospel according to Matthew and most of Jesus Christ’s messages to his audiences refer to the fulfilment of prophecies spoken by Isaiah. Therefore, we are also very confident that the prophecy outline in Isaiah 11:6-9 will surely come to pass in our time.

The prophecy speaks of a time when our entire planet would live in peace (LIP), where no one would harm, hate, or hurt another. The Bible verse tells us that we can only reach that state when all the people living on this planet are filled with the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and choose to live by his life example. Jesus never harmed anybody. He never hurt anyone. He didn’t hate a soul. He gave hope to everybody. He touched and loved everyone, even those who were universally detested, Jesus amazed all by touching them. This is the epitome of the message in this book, “zero-hurt”. “zero-hate” and “zero-harm” environment, based on what our King, our Master, our Saviour and our Lord taught us. He did not only teach but he lived by example by practising what he taught. Our organisation has embarked on the task of filling every human being with the knowledge of the Lord and we appeal to everyone to join in this massive task.

In many Bible verses God uses zoomorphic descriptions for vile human characters. In Psalm 22, verses 12, 13 and 16, king David, speaking prophetically of Jesus Christ, describes how bulls, lions and dogs would encircle him and pierce him. We discover in the New Testament that these were the Jewish leaders who crucified him. The world today still has many zoomorphic people and zoomorphic politicians. History records a number of extremely cruel emperors of old but brutish people still exist to this day. We are indeed living with ferocious animals and venomous reptiles among our own species, the human being. The book seeks to tame the hearts of all human beings to be loving and caring to all God’s creation. We strongly believe that the list of animals and reptiles mentioned above were used as metaphors to describe certain characters among the human beings.

All of us, even the bravest and strongest man would not stand the sight of a lion or leopard. We all know that these animals kill, in many occasions, without being provoked. As humans we should feel safe when we meet other human beings, even if they are strangers to us. However, when one meets a human being who takes out a knife to stab another, then the attacker becomes an animal to us and not a human being. We can no longer count him as one of our own species but that of our enemy – the untamed animal kingdom. When a human being takes out a gun and kills another then he becomes a lion or leopard to us. When someone takes acid and throws it onto your face then he is a venomous snake which spits out poison on it’s victims. Just as a snake can inject poison into a person and bring about death to that individual, we also have people that use poison to end other people’s lives, in many cases without provocation. When chemical manufacturers and miners, with the full knowledge that their activities and products are killer substances but instead choose to continue with their work then these join in the list of non-humans in the above verse.

We also have characters within our own species, who are like bears, wolves, leopards and lions. When some human beings bring about terror on others, such that half the population flee from their homes and walk endless journeys, with no water and no food just because someone wants power then the terror causers become animals to the human race. They are ready to start war at a drop of a hat and rip children, women and all civilians to pieces, just as these animals do. They can destroy a city or a country by their bombs and leave not one building standing. These kinds of people, once they get to know the Lord they will stop and allow the good citizens to enjoy their God given peace.

Suicide bombers, thieves, robbers, hijackers, murderers, acid attackers and knife attackers are the vicious animals that we have to tame by the infilling of the knowledge of the Lord so that they can live with us in peace. These “vipers” disturb our peace. Because of them we cannot enjoy the night breeze as they prowl in the night looking for someone to gobble. In some countries, houses have to be mounted with strong iron or burglar bars just to keep these hyenas out. Not only that, the security bars become a trap for good people in the event of a fire in the night for there will not be any place to escape through. Surely these animals, in human form, deserve to be caged/prisoned forever, however, their Maker, God Almighty, said that they can be tamed and become proper human beings again.

When God says, “The wolf will live with the lamb…” we believe he is referring to the cruellest human beings as wolves and the non-quarrelsome, peace-loving human beings as lambs. When God says, “And a little child will lead them”, he is telling us that these hooligans, the too strong for us characters, the murderers, the lovers of money, the rapists, the molesters, will one day listen to sound counsel.
