The Lion and the Lamb
Reality: Isaiah 11:6 “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.” The word “Wolf” is in every translation and version of the bible.
What affected people remember: Isaiah 11:6 “The lion shall lie/lay down with the lamb…”. Not only was the Lion in place of the Wolf, but the action was to “lay down” or “lie down” with the lamb and not “dwell with”. Affected people do not remember a wolf at all.
Information
Another passage where wolf has replaced Lion according to the affected is Isaiah 65:25 “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”

Shifter (Admin): This ME has profoundly affected me personally. It is the ME that changed me from being dismissive of the ME phenomenon to being willing to entertain the possibility that reality itself can alter. I have read the bible cover to cover twice in my life. I have read the book of Genesis at least 7 times and the book of revelation more. If I am 100% certain about any ME, it is this one.
I had the passage partially memorized and read it frequently. Many of my family are religious, so upon discovering this ME, I immediately called my brother and cautiously asked him the following question as to not influence his answer in any way. I asked: “What animal is associated with the lamb in the bible?” He responded immediately without hesitation, the Lion. I then asked, “What books in the bible do you remember this passage being in?” to which he replied Isaiah and revelation. I then told him to look at his oldest copy of the bible and tell me what it says.
Needless to say he was in as much shock as I was. His wife, also said that she remembered the Lion laying down with the Lamb. I then called my brother in law and asked the exact same questions in the same manner. He also promptly answered Lion. He also gave Isaiah, revelation and possibly Daniel as the books. He then went to his bible and was also shocked that it now said wolf. Finally I called my mother, like my brother and brother in law, a lifelong Christian. My mother also answered the same.
As this particular ME disturbed me considerably, I went looking for old bibles. I found one in a second hand shop that had one from the mid 1800’s. I checked all the passages and they all said wolf. I asked in churches and everyone I asked said Lion. I asked random Christians who I met during my day to day routine and they all said Lion. I even asked a Jehovah’s Witness who was proselyting on the street and they said Lion and then listed every other animal in Isaiah 11:6 apart from a wolf.
Of the 25+ people I have asked, I have only had one say wolf. I have had conversations about this passage with people. I have speculated that perhaps a future where a lion can lay down with a lamb will be made possible through the advancement of technology. I speculated that animals could be changed physically much like we will change physically as we incorporate technology into us. I have had had this conversation several times with several different people.
