Episode Synopsis

The passage from Isaiah 11 is not a parable, but it is a metaphor from human history that touches on themes similar to Shell Silverstein's, The Giving Tree. But unlike the Silverstein poem, the promise of Isaiah 11 is that one day, because of the cross of Jesus Christ, man will be united to God and to one another, and the peace of the Lord will permeate all of Creation.
