As in the beginning, the whole face of the earth will be a delightful garden, with the major land surfaces joined together instead of separated by oceans. (See D&C 133:23-24.) The transfiguration of the earth will be so radical and complete, that it will be “a new earth.” (Isa. 65:17.) Animals of the earth will live together in harmony as the natural cycle of predator and prey will be broken: “In that day the enmity . . . of beasts, yea, the enmity of all flesh, shall cease from before my face.” (D&C 101:26.) Instead of animals eating animals, they will eat straw and other natural by-products of plant life. (See Isa. 11:6-7; 65:25; Hosea 2:18.) Thus, a harmonious relationship will exist on earth between nature, animals, and humans.Share
