The answer yes, animals/pets will always be a part of God's Kingdom and this is revealed in the scripture.
God's creative work in Genesis included animals. God created the animals and said they were good Genesis 1:25 So there is plenty of reason for us to believe there will be pets/animals on the new earth Revelation 21:1
There will certainly be animals during the millennial kingdom:
Isaiah 11:6-9
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. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. And many other places too.
Know then in Jesus' name that the man is wrong. Repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Also baptize yourself in His Name i pray, Amen.
It's really a little different from what comes in on the web pages here? In your case, you are claiming a lie! Shame on you.
That's a hard topic; and it's one that no 'doctrine' can really be formed on, actually. Solomon, known for wisdom, said in Eccl. 3:21 -
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Jesus comes back on a horse - and His armies with Him, the Bible said. Jesus said that the Father was with the sparrows when they fall; why would He bother?
Romans 8 is also is interesting:
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Lots to think about! :) We will be so surprised, and so amazed, at what the Lord will yet do, that's for sure! :)
Hello Kay. Just in connection with Romans 8:20-22, the Greek word used is the same in all three instances, viz. 'ktisis', & this refers to 'creation'. Where 'creature' is written, parts of the creation are intended, which parts include all living creatures, flora, & anything else that has been affected by the fall & general corruption because of it.
All of creation awaits that glorious day of resurrection of the saints & the installation of Christ's Rule on the Earth; a time when Satan will be bound, sin will not abound, & all creation will have respite as Christ's Presence & Glory instigates much worldwide renewal. Though my understanding is that all will not be fully realized until the entrance of the new heavens & earth when all things will be manifest as per God's original Plan.
And I would agree with Rose; I don't believe that anything other than mankind are redeemable as God's creation of man is totally unique in every way, spirit, soul & body. Of the 'horses' we see in the Revelation, I understand that to be graphic imagery given to John (as in the beasts that rise out of the sea & earth), & do not depict actual animals or that there are stables & fields in Heaven. John was given much vision & information that would be too difficult to understand & relate, unless such 'pictures' were given him, but of course, these images were to clearly relate to their tasks & ensuing events. Of course, many will have their opinions from the reading of these passages, which makes no particular interpretation certain.
Please forgive me, for I surely did not mean to imply that I thought that the creatures were redeemed! Only people are redeemed by the blood of the precious Lamb, Jesus Christ, praise the Lord!

God Bless.
