They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
The Second Coming of Christ and the establishment of Zion are favorite themes of prophecy in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Zion will surely be a unique place. The meek and the mighty will dwell side by side in peace and security. The rest of the earth may not be quite so peaceful, but in Zion peace shall reign. The implication in this verse is that when we know God, we will live peacefully. Or taken the other way, when we live peacefully, we will come to know God. It is hard to live in peace today in the noisy, busy, competitive, ruthless world. But when Christ comes, he will put such things down. We will find it easier to be peaceful when all around us is peace. And in peace, we will come to know God.
