The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.Each form and being has its own natural internal way. When the opportunity arises, wolves eat lambs. Lions do not eat straw. The God of Christianity has a tendency to want to bend the laws of nature to satisfy his own desires; Tao IS the law of nature and so there is nothing to be bent.
~ King James version ~
Man follows Earth.
Earth follows heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
Tao follows what is natural.
~ from Verse 25 of the Tao Te Ching ~

unless you don't take the bible quote literally, but as metaphorical images for traits in mankind. The wolf and the lamb, the evil and the good; the lion, the hunter/warlike at last becoming peaceful like the happy cattle in their abundant pastures.
