יחזקאל, פרק ל״ד, פסוק כ״ח

The ultimate promise for the future is one of absolute security, a time when all threats against the people will be completely removed. This safety guarantees protection from both the theft of their property and the danger of physical destruction. The Israelites will no longer be treated as prey [ביאור שטיינזלץ], and the surrounding nations will never again plunder their wealth [מלבי״ם].

Alongside the end of foreign robbery is a promise of protection from wild beasts. The primary approach among commentators is to view these animals metaphorically. They represent the earthly kingdoms that will no longer destroy the Israelites [רד״ק], or savage nations acting like vicious predators trying to consume the people [מלבי״ם]. Taking a specific historical view, these dangerous beasts are identified with the cruel tyrants of Babylon [מצודת דוד]. At the same time, another perspective understands the promise literally, viewing it as a practical guarantee that harmful wild animals will never again roam the land and cause destruction [מצודת דוד].

As a result of removing these two major threats, a new reality of peace emerges. The people will be able to live in quiet, complete safety, even while dwelling securely among the other nations of the world [מלבי״ם].
