Isaiah 11:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 11:8
The most vulnerable (nursing child, weaned child) play safely near deadly serpents (cobra, viper). This reverses Genesis 3:15's enmity between woman's seed and serpent. Children handling snakes without harm depicts complete safety in Messiah's kingdom—all danger removed. This may be literal (millennial safety) or figurative (spiritual victory over Satan, the serpent). Either way, it shows comprehensive triumph over curse and evil under Christ's righteous rule.
