What is the Catholic Interpretation of these verses? :confused:

6 Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them.
7 The cow and the bear shall be neighbors, together their young shall rest; the lion shall eat hay like the ox.
8 The baby shall play by the cobra’s den, and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.

It’s a picture of creation restored to it’s proper order.

The realtionship between animals and man is restored.

The purpose and end of creation is restored in man because the purpose and end of human life is restored in God.
 
Ver. 6.*** Wolf***. Some explain this of the Millennium. (apud St. Jerome) (Lactantius vii. 24.) — But the more intelligent understand, that the fiercest nations shall embrace the gospel, and kings obey the pastors of the Church. (Calmet) — Lead. Or “drive,” as the word is used by Festus. (Haydock)
