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—the explanation for the peaceable kingdom: universal knowledge of God replaces the ignorance that leads to violence and destruction. The abundance of divine knowledge (full as waters covering the sea) suggests that the barrier between God and creation is removed, and all creatures participate in understanding divine truth. This verse establishes that peace flows from knowledge of God, and eschatological transformation is ultimately about the restoration of right relationship between creation and Creator.
