Let them have in subjection . . . every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.—Gen. 1:26. In the process of creation, Jehovah made humans last, the apex of his earthly works. Adam and Eve, and eventually all humans, were mandated to have dominion over the animal creation and therefore would be at peace with them. So we should not be surprised when we read in the Bible that peace will come to prevail between humans and animals. (Isa. 11:6-9; 65:25) Why not? Recall that when Noah and his family emerged from the ark after the Flood, Jehovah told them: “A fear of you and a terror of you will continue upon every living creature of the earth.” That was for the animals’ self-preservation. (Gen. 9:2, 3) Could not Jehovah remove a measure of that fear and terror, so that his original mandate would be fulfilled? (Hos. 2:18) What an enjoyable time awaits all who will survive to live on earth then!
