Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with God's reign on earth as we pick up in Isaiah

chapter 11 verse five.

And now with today's message, here's pastor Chuck.

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins and faithfulness the girdle of his reigns.

And now the conditions that will exist when he rains upon the earth, the wolf also shall dwell with a lamb, and the leopard

shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them.

We see not the world that God created. We see a world that is suffering the curse because of

man's sin and the curse has spread out into the animal kingdom.

It's spread out into the areas, the whole area of the earth.

The earth is cursed.

Thorns and thistles show the ground produce.

The animals at war with each other.
