Martin Luther, Commenting On Isaiah 65, Had This ...

Martin Luther, commenting on Isaiah 65, had this to say: Through his Gospel God can make the supreme tyrants of the world subject to a simple man and preacher, even though these tyrants were lions and wolves. God can turn enemies into friends. They shall feed together ... The kingdom of peace follows. They shall not hurt. The sum of everything: There must be a reign of peace among themselves. There will be peace without sword or force or tyranny, because there will be love, they will have the same inheritance, and everything will be the common possession of friends. [Martin Luther, Lectures on Isaiah (1529), in Luther’s Works, Vol. 17, pp. 393-394.]
