The image of the giant children playing in the streets with lions, panthers and snakes, distinctly African in its rendition, is reminiscent of Isaiah's prophetic vision in which "the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them" (Isaiah 11: 6), hence it might be inferred that Seid here prophesies a future Chadian nation.
As such, it refers to the "big story" of the end times as envisioned by Isaiah: "The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them" (11:6).
In this restored earth a wolf and lamb are together; a leopard and kid are together; a calf, a lion, and fatling are together; and a little child leads this motley crew of "natural" enemies.
