Ok I am sure someone is going to say Isaiah is not talking about Heaven, in this passage but rather the millennial reign of Jesus right here on the earth. If that is so, isn't the millennial reign supposed to reflect Heaven? Why would the animals be at peace and then Jesus destroys them so they can't go to Heaven after the millennial reign? Those that say there are no animals in Heaven makes no sense and they have no scriptures to back up their claim.
Besides the God that I serve, loves animals and created them for our enjoyment. Can you picture an animals as smart as Roy Roger's horse "Trigger" not being in Heaven? Can you picture an animal as smart and devoted as "Lassie" not getting to live in Heaven? I can't. The facts state plain and simple that Jesus is in Heaven, and He comes back to Earth riding on a horse. If there are no animals in Heaven then where did He get His horse?
The great minister, John Wesley was a cowboy and he always said his horse would be in Heaven.
When I think of heroes, I think of Cowboys. Jesus of course is the biggest hero of them all. However, you have to stop and think about how the West was won, and how America is only existing today because of the rough and rugged cowboys who fought the Indians, pioneered the land, and fought the outlaws, which made America the land of the free and the home of the brave, which is why she is the leading Nation in the world today.
Men like Wyatt , Morgan and Virgil Earp, who along with their friend Doc Holliday fought off the bad guys like the cutthroat Clanton gang in Tombstone, Arizona and devoted their lives to truth justice and the American way! As a result we enjoy the freedom that we have today and because of America's freedom, many other nations are free today and not being ruled my tyrannical Muslims and Communists because of the cowboy attitude of America.
America's two most popular Presidents have been and are President Ronald Reagan, and President George Walker Bush Jr., both who were and are cowboys. Both have led the world in times of crises and kept America from falling into ungodly hethanistic control. The people of America spoke when given a choice between an Ivy League Bostonian fake war hero to lead them, or a Cowboy hero who drives a Pickup Truck, rides a horse and has a ranch in Texas, they felt more comfortable with a Cowboy to lead them and not some stuffed shirted upper class gigolo.
Cowboys have always been heroes. Can you picture some trash-talking street punk rapper coming to the rescue of a person in distress, or leading the world in the fight against terror? I think not.
Look at all the leaders who have been cowboys, such as Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, President Andrew Jackson, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickock, Bat Masterson, John Wayne, Sunset Carson, Hoot Gibson, Lash LaRue, Roy Rogers, Audie Murphy, Tex Ritter, Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, Toby Keith, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and many others who have blazed a trail of honor for freedom and served as role models for children all over the world. I mean, who would YOU rather have your child look up to as a role model; that foul mouthed street punk rapper Eminem who tells kids to murder and commit suicide like in his Slim Shady CD, or John Wayne who chased the bad guys right off the screen? If you say Eminem, then you are in the same category as I described him, and are not even fit to be called an American.
The facts are that God has chosen cowboys to lead the world because being a Christian means to be "Christ-like." Cowboys are the closest thing to being Christ-like because Jesus is a Cowboy, period.
My Heroes have always been cowboys!
