I think the idea of "the lion will lay down with the lamb" is merely a misquote of the passage from Isaiah 11:6. It has been used enough that people "remember" it that way rather than what the word of God actually says - and has always said it that way. I had to look it up myself a while back to get the right wording and was surprised. The principle is the same whether the lion lays down with the lamb or it was the wolf. In the kingdom of God even carnivorous animals will eat grass! There will be no death.

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. (Isaiah 11:9)

Is Billy Graham alive or dead?

How about about Jim Nabors?

Using only your memory please answer.
