Question Good day,
Isaiah 65 (latter half) describes the peaceful conditions of the earth made new. It says that dust will be the serpent's meat. Does this mean that the serpent will continue to eat dust in the earth made new?
Answer Hi Owen,
Your question is very interesting.
Isaiah 65:25 tells us that snakes will no longer be a threat to us (either physically or spiritually), it will instead remain to us a symbol.
Genesis 3:14 also mentions that the serpent will eat dust. In this verse God put a curse on the snake.
The snake since Genesis has been linked with sin. With this in mind this species is now forever cursed, and will be a perpetual reminder to us of what the effects of sin are; even in the New Earth.
