3446 — The Harmony. Acts 9:7; 22:9; and Isa. 35:9; 11:7

Please show the harmony between Acts 9:7 and 22:9; also between Isa. 35:9 and 11:7.
The seeming difference between the first two scriptures lies over the twofold meaning of hearing,—hearing yet not understanding, and not hearing in the sense of not understanding. See Matt. 13:13-16. Paul heard and understood. Those who were with him heard a sound, but they did not hear the distinct voice in the sense of understanding. Isa. 35:9 speaks of a time when there shall be no more ravenous wild beasts as we now know them; Isa. 11:7 of a time when the nature of the beasts shall be changed. They will no longer be ravenous.
