Tertullian, a noted Christian writer, makes the 

 following remarks : " There shall be an end of 

 death, when the devil, its chief master, shall go 

 away into the fire which God has prepared for 

 him and his angels ; when the manifestations of 

 the sons of God shall release the world from evil, 

 at present universally subject to it ; when the 

 innocence and purity of nature being restored, 

 animals shall live in harmony with each other, and 

 infants shall play without harm with animals once 

 ferocious ; when the Father shall have subdued 

 His enemies to His Son and put all things in 

 subjection under His feet."
