  Sikhs must carry swords as part their garb and ornaments

  The "Kirban". There have been secular court cases about this.

  One may wear gloves on Shabbos (tho Chabad minhag is not to, I guess unless frostbite can result).

  Today yidden are being attacked indiscriminately. Especially if recognizable as yidden and on Shabbos in particular when they are more vulnerable. 

  Brass knuckles are a weapon but cam be viewed as gloves.  Wearable on Shabbos?

  Unfair to apply the Avodas Hakodesh to the Rambam

  And say that barren trees and wild animals will revert to their original pristine nature from before the Chait Aitz Hadassah which only lasted a few days. And that pristine state is their true nature so there will not be a change in nature after Moshiach?

  Why not?

  Take a kid of the dor hamidbar who grew up eating mann all his life. He's told that that which he has experienced all his life is not really nature but miraculous and that upon entry to EY when there must be planting and harvesting (and work) and that will be true nature not the mann which was not natural even tho he experienced it all his life.

  For us, the last 5781 years is like that 40 year oldest 40 years and Moshiach is like his impending entry into EY. And the pre-Aitz Hadass time for us is like the years before the mann fell which the 40 year old never experienced. 

   Only the time spans are a little different.  The concepts are parallel.

  "Only in Eretz Yisroel nature will change"

  Following the theory that the true nature of the item was the nature it had immediately after creation and not that which we see now, perhaps we can say that the nature of Eretz Yisroel ONLY was different from that whichbwe see now. Therefore after Moshiach the true nature of  EY ONLY will revert to  its true nature while the rest of  the world had the same nature we see now also immediately after creation.

  "I will eliminate the wild beasts from the land"

  Further to the comment below, this can be explained as "I will the WILDNESS from the beasts". 

  Did the lions eat lambs just after creation? Did leopards eat the goats? Did plants grow in a day? If so then that is their true nature, what we see today is not their true nature and after Moshiach all will return to its true nature before evil and good were admixed because of  Adam's sin.

  There is no difference between nature and miracles

  Except frequency.  In the midbar mann from shomayim was eventually natural whereas growth of a plant from seed upon entering Eretz Yisrael was a miracle  

  In the days of Moshiach there will be a change in nature....but the lion will lie down with the lamb, etc.

  Perhaps the lion cuddling with the lamb was natural immediately after creation, before the chait hadaas. Perhaps until the mabul.  It was certainly the case in the tayveh.

  This perspective reconciles the two notions that there will be no change in nature after Moshiach comes and yet the lion will cuddle with the lamb, which seems miraculous. 

  Perhaps it isn't miraculous but the true nature of these creations as originally designed.  The same holds true for people.

    And ditto for trees. I.e. after Moshiach perhaps the lion, people, trees etc will return to their TRUE NATURE before evil and good were mixed
