| Summary: | In recent years there has been an increased focus within the field of eschatology on a future peace for all creatures. This article examines how the geographical designation “my holy mountain” in Isaiah 11 and 65 may influence these speculations. It discusses recent propositions for an eschatological peace among animals and develops a proposal from the geographical designation in which it demonstrates how this (1) influences the perspective of continuity and discontinuity in the eschaton, (2) emphasizes a gradual-immanent transformation of all creatures, (3) takes into account the uniqueness of creatures, (4) and relates this to the concept of the Sabbath as representative of the eschaton. |
