Long Summary
Detailed Summary of the Discourse on “The Day of the Lord”

Introduction: Unity and Privileges
– The discourse opens by reflecting on the privileges believers have today to gather together as one body.
– Ephesians 4:15-16 is cited to emphasize growth in Christ through love and the fitting together of the body of Christ:
*“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”* (Ephesians 4:15-16)
– The Internet and communication technologies are identified as modern “joints” connecting members of Christ’s body, with potential for good or evil.

Context of the Day of the Lord
– The world is sinful, echoing the days of Noah, and God provides blessings while evil forces misuse inventions.
– Isaiah 13:9,11 is quoted regarding the coming day of the Lord, described as a day of wrath and punishment:
*“Behold, the day of the Lord comes cruel, both with wrath and fierce anger… I will punish the world for their evil… I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease…”* (Isaiah 13:9,11)
– The discourse references Brother Russell’s writings and Daniel 12 prophecy about increased knowledge and a unique time of trouble at the “time of the end.”

Prophecies of the Day of the Lord in the Old Testament
– The “day of the Lord” has multiple fulfillments in history, linked to God’s special intervention in Israel’s affairs.
– Four main historical prophetic fulfillments:
1. Assyrian conquest of the ten northern tribes:
– Amos prophesied against Israel’s sins and punishment (Amos 5:12-13, 21-22; Amos 5:1-2, 27).
– The day of the Lord was the time of Israel’s captivity and destruction.
2. Babylonian conquest of Judah and Benjamin:
– Zephaniah 1:4-7,14-18 describes the day of the Lord as a day of distress, darkness, and wrath when Judah was punished.
3. Destruction of Babylon by Medo-Persians:
– Isaiah 13:1-6 portrays the Lord’s wrath through the Medes and Persians overthrowing Babylon, fulfilling God’s plan.
4. Babylon’s defeat of Egypt:
– Jeremiah 1:46-10 and Jeremiah 25:9 describe the battle of Carchemish and Babylon’s dominance, leading to Judah’s subjugation and exile.
– The punishment extended to surrounding nations due to their alliances with Israel, reflecting modern parallels.

General Significance of These Prophecies
– These historical “days of the Lord” foreshadow the ultimate “day of the Lord,” a period of rest and judgment coinciding with the Gospel Age harvest.
– The “day of the Lord” is understood as the day of God’s wrath against sin and rebellion.

Psalm 90 and the Concept of Time
– Psalm 90:4 states:
*“For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”*
– Apostle Peter, in 2 Peter 3:8, interprets this as:
*“One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”*
– This indicates God’s perspective on time differs from humans and frames the timing of the day of the Lord.

Exploration of “The Lord” in 2 Peter 3:8-12
– The discourse examines substituting the word “Lord” with:
Jehovah (God the Father):
– The day of Jehovah is linked with judgment, promise-keeping, and the end of the world’s corrupt order.
– Psalm 46:1-6 describes God as refuge amidst chaos, which corresponds with the resurrection of the church.
Christ (Jesus Christ):
– The “day of Christ” or “day of the Son of Man” aligns with Jesus’ second presence.
– Matthew 24:27 and Luke 17:24 equate the coming presence of the Son of Man with the day of the Son of Man.
– 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 clarifies the “day of the Lord” as the presence of Jesus when the church is gathered.
– The discourse concludes the day of Jehovah (God the Father), the day of the Lord (Jesus Christ), and the day of God are the same event, involving God’s wrath, judgment, and restoration.

The Thousand-Year Day and the Role of Jesus
– The Old Testament attributes acts to Jehovah; the New Testament reveals the Father entrusts these to the glorified Son, Jesus Christ.
– Jesus is the executor of the day of the Lord’s events.

The Day of Rest and Wrath
– Revelation 6:15-17 speaks of the great day of wrath:
*“The great day of their wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”*
– This day is both the day of rest for God’s people and a day of wrath against the wicked.

Final Reflections and Encouragement
– The time of the Lord’s second presence is when all prophecies will be fulfilled.
– Jesus Christ will restore God’s Kingdom on earth.
– Isaiah 9:1 is cited:
*“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light… upon them hath the light shined.”*
– Isaiah 25:8-9 promises victory over death and removal of sorrow:
*“He will swallow up death in victory… the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth… Lord, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.”*
– These verses, originally referring to Jehovah, are fulfilled through Christ’s reign.
– The discourse closes encouraging consecration to spread light and salvation.

Transcript

Reflected on the privileges we have today, we see that the Lord provide us with every opportunity to be together as one body.

The apostle writes in Ephesians, chapter 4, verses 15 and 16. But speaking is not the truth in love may grow up into him in all things which is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body fitly joined together, are compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

We see that there are various joints that connect the members of Christ, Christ’s body together, and one of them is the Internet, an amazing invention of recent decades, as well as various free communication applications that Brazen actively use.

One can have different attitudes toward the Internet, seeing its negative aspects, but we must acknowledge that everything can be used for good or for evil. We know that various inventions are blessing of the new era, but we still live in a sinful world, whose every thought it was evil, as it was in the days of Noah. Therefore the Lord gives us these wonderful things to bless his people and to serve them whereas the wealth which is under the influence of Satan and evil angels, uses all of this to serve evil. Therefore, as it is, behold, the day of the Lord comes cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate, and he shall destroy the sinner thereof out of it, and I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity.

And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible prophet. Isaiah 13, 9, 11. We will return to these words later. Our topic for today is the day of the Lord 1. Over a hundred years ago Brother Russell wrote for the magazine oval and Mansley, page 61.

That God foreknew present conditions and foretold them more than 2,000 years ago, is clearly shown in the statement of Daniel, chapter 12. The Prophet had received a message for the people of Israel, which was plainly explained to him. But very interesting details, not pertinent to his nations, but to the end of this age, were withheld from him. He prayed earnestly for them, and got the answer from the angels. Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

In the time of the end many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased, and the wise shall understand, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation. Notice this prophecy carefully. Its statements are beautiful in their simplicity. Yet the present day cannot be better described in the same number of words. The first item marks our day of rapid transportation and those traversing sea and land in every direction, running to and fro.

There never was such a day before. Less than a century ago, there was not a steam engine on earth, not a railroad train nor a rail. Suddenly, as if touched by magic wand, railroads cover the civilized earth and humanity rushes span mel in every direction as its solely intent upon the fulfillment of this prophecy, of which the majority are in total ignorance. The End of Quotation Thus we associate the time of trouble with the day of the Lord.

The day of the Lord is or the day of rest and as mentioned in many places in the Old Testament, we will examine it in twofold meaning. First we will speak of the literal fulfillment. In what instances was the day of the LORD spoken of? Let’s give a few examples. The day of the Lord is mentioned in the context of several events that testify to the special intervention of the Lord God in the affairs of his people Israel.

The first set of prophecies is connected with the conquest of ten tribes by Assyria.

The second set of prophecies pertains to the conquest of two tribes by Babylon. The third prophecy pertains to the conquest of Babylon by the Medo Persians, and the fourth pertain to the Babylon defeat of Egypt.

The first type of prophecy is given by Amos. The prophet Amos, as brother Russell explains, prophesied about two centuries before Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, and a century before Isaiah. Although the prophet himself was from Judah, his prophecy was directed Primarily to the 10 tribes, though the Lord also remember and mentioned the punishment of Judah, what was the guilt of the people of Israel, and especially of the 10 tribes.

The entire prophecy of Amos is a strong accusation against Israel. We read in Amos 5:12, 13 for I know your manifold transgression and your mighty sins. They afflict the just they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time and amos 5:21, 22 I hate I despite your feast day, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies or assemblies. Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them neither will I regard the peace offering of your fat beasts.

Amos 5:1 and 2 hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation O house of Israel, the vision of Israel is fallen she shall never more rise she is forsaken upon her land there is none to raise her up therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of Hosts. Verse 27 this refer to the captivity of ten tribes and their deportation to Assyria. The time of Israel’s punishment is called the day of the Lord. Amos 5 or 6 sorry, 6am the second time of prophecies concerning the day of the Lord pertain to the punishment of two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, during the Babylonian invasion and their captivity. Here is what the prophet Zephaniah writes about this in chapter 1, verses 4 through 7 I will also stretch out my hand upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for the day of the LORD is at hand, for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice.

We are familiar with the following words, verses 1418 the great day of the LORD is near it sneer and hates greatly even the voice of the day of the lord. The mighty man shall cry here bitterly. The day is a day of rest, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wastiness and desolation, a day of darkness, a gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and arm against the fancy cities and and against the high towers. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. But the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

As we read these prophecies, our thoughts naturally turn to the time of the Lord’s second’s presence, what the natural Israel of the Old Testament represent to us another Israel, the spiritual one, and just as the sin of natural Israel were evident, so too are the sins of spiritual nominal Israel, evident and deserving of punishment in the antitypical day of the Lord, the day of wrath, which coincides in time with the period known as the harvest of the Gospel age.

The third type of prophecy concerning the day of the Lord is mentioned in Isaiah 13:1 6 the burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amos did lift up a banner upon the mountains, exalt the voice unto them shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. I have commanded my sacrifice at once I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of the great people, a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together. The Lord of hosts mastered the host of the battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even The Lord and the weapons of his indignation to destroy the whole land.

Hallelujah. For the day of the Lord is at hand. It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

This prophecy pertained to the destruction of Babylon, where the Israelites and other nations were held captive.

The destruction was to be carried out by the armies of the Medes and Persians under the leadership of their kings Cyrus and Darius. The advance came from the north, from the Maltese country known to us today as Iran.

Babylon, having fulfilled his role in God’s plan, was now to give way to another impost. Metapersia Babylon is often mentioned in scripture and especially in Revelation at the great system of Christianity at the head of the Roman Empire and was to be destroyed by the Lord, the antitypical Cyrus and his great army of all the discontented and rebellious whom the Lord uses to destroy the present religious civil order represented by the great image made by Nebuchadnezzar, and the Last 1. The fourth type of prophecy regarding the day of the Lord is mentioned in the prophecy of Jeremiah chapter 1:46 10. For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries.

And the sword shall be devoured and it shall be situated and made drunk with the blood. For the Lord God of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

The battle in Kankemish was a decisive conflict between the armies of Babylonia and Egypt.

This event effectively put an end to the Egyptian presence in the near east and established Babylonian dominance in the region. Babylonian troops under the command of Nebuchadnezzar engaged in battle against the Egyptian army of Pharaoh Neho which was supported by the remnants of the Assyrians forces. The result was a crushing defeat for the Egyptians. According to the Babylonian chronicles, Neho’s army was so smashed that not a single man escaped to his own country.

Before the battle, Judah was under Egyptians influence. After Pharaoh Mehro defeat, the Egyptians retreated to their borders, leaving Israel defenseless. King Jehoiakim of Judah was forced to become a vassal of no Nebuchadnezzar and pay him tribute when Jehoiakim attempted to rebel. Expected on the support of weakened Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. This led to the first wave of the Babylonian captivity, the exile of king Jehoiachin and the city elite in Babylon.

The Lord punisheth not only Egypt.

Jeremiah 25:9 says, Behold, I will send and make all the families of the north, says the Lord and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Balabel, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment and hissing and perpetual desolations. The question arises, why were the surrounding nations punished?

Israel, seeking protection, made treaties with these nations, and first and foremost with Egypt. These nations also attacked Israel. How this resembles our current situation when God’s people Israel seek protection in the world, Egypt and in particular from the surrounding nations. Yet in response hear only empty promises and feel that in reality no one needs them, for everyone cares only about their own interests. Therefore the Lord sent various calamities and hardships upon the world, and upon the various nations that make treaties with Israel for their own interest interest.

Even though Israel hopes that these treaches will bring them some benefits, we see this today in those events around Israel.

So, brethren, we shortly examined some prophecies that mention the Day of the Lord.

The essence of these prophecies is that they illustrate how, through various events in the past, the Lord, when he particularly expressed his displeasure, foreshadowed the events of the day of the Lord, the day of rest, which coincides with the harvest period of the Gospel age.

We mentioned these prophecies shortly to go to another very, very important prophecy, which will be the main topic of our discussion and of our intention.

In the Old Testament the word Lord refers to Jehovah.

Therefore this day is rightly called the day of God’s or Jehovah’s wrath against the nations. There are plenty of such prophecies. Generally they refer to the entire time of trouble, and sometimes to the culmination of it anarchy. Now we will examine another prophecy about the day of the Lord. It is found in Psalm 94 for a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Although verse one speak of the Lord in the sense of Adonai, the original text contained the name Jehovah, which is ultimately confirmed by the verse 16. Why is this important to us?

When we read this cell it may seem that Moses words for a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night, have no deeper meaning beyond a desire to show the swift flowing nature of time in God’s eyes. However, the apostle Peter, guided by the Holy Spirit, said that this expression has a deeper application than it seems at first glance. He says in second Peter 3, 8 But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord at the same thousand years and a thousand years, and was as one day.

The apostle then elaborates on this on the time of the day of the Lord in the context that with the Lord one day is equivalent to a thousand years. On this why does the apostle raise this matter? From the epistle of the apostle Paul, it appeared that the question of the day of the Lord was of great interest to the early Church. Some believed it had already come, while others hoped for it in the near future. Apostle Paul touched on this matter in his Epistle to the Church in Thessalonica.

In contrast, the apostle Peter base his argument on Psalm 90.

As we have already mentioned in Psalm 90 the word Lord refers to Jehovah, and what word did the apostle Peter use? In Greek this word is kurios Lord, to whom did the apostle Peter so whom the apostle Peter have in mind? The Lord God Jehovah, or the Lord Jesus Christ.

For this let’s substitute these names one by one into the text provided by the apostle Peter, and see if this helps us to find the answer.

First let’s replace the word Lord with Jehovah. Let’s read verses 8 through 12. But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that the day is with Jehovah as a thousand years, and a thousand years, and one day. Jehovah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men counts slackness, but is long suffering to earth’s word, not willing that any should perish perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of Jehovah will come the thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, and as also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up, seeing that all the ascents shall be dissolved.

What man of presence ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire, shall be sold, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? What do we see in this case?

Look carefully. First verse eight in this presentation confirms the words of cell 90.7. Second, verse nine confirms the numerous prophecies regarding the promise of the coming of the day of Jehovah, the day of the Lord, in which the promise of the resurrection of the church, and his taking into the glory of the kingdom is also to be fulfilled.

Read Psalm 46, verses 1 through 6. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, although the earth do change, and though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof, there is a river, the stream thereof may glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the middle. Needs of her she shall not be moved God will help her.

As the dawn of morning the nation raged, the kingdoms removed, he uttered his voice, and the earth melted. This in translation, as you know, made by Bresen R. Here I see it.

What do we see?

We see from this prophecy that the church had to head her resurrection in the dawn of mourning, when God will help her.

So we may infer that the day of dawn of morning is the morning of the day known as the day of the Lord, on the day of Jehovah, when God will help her.

Let’s read point three.

As we continue the term of Psalm 46. We read in second Peter, chapter 3, verse 10, by using Word Jehovah instead of the Lord. But the day of Jehovah will come as a sieve in the night, in which the heaven shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat the earth also, and the works that are the wind shall be burned up. Look especially carefully on the words here marked by the blue color in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the element shall melt with fervent heat, and now read their verse 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God and the same words further, wherein the heavens being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the fervent heat.

What we see from these two verses, we see the same events are transpiring in the day of Jehovah and in the day of God.

So we see that these verses speak of the same events. Only verse 10 said they will occur in the day of Jehovah, and well, verse 12 in the day of God. Therefore, looking at both these verses, and having in our minds these words, we say, it follows that the day of Jehovah and the day of God is the same day, because the events here are the same as shown in verse 10 and in verse 12.

Now let’s replace the word Lord with the word Christ.

Let’s read verses eight through but beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Christ as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Christ is not slack concerning this promise, as some men count slackness, but is but is long suffering to us, ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of Christ shall come at the thief in the night, in the wind, the heaven shall pass away with a great noise, and the element shall melt with fervent heat the earth also, and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what man of person ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness looking for in hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on Pharia, shall be dissolved, and the element shall melt with fervent heat, when we put the word Christ instead of word Lord, what we see?

But before this let’s ask the question, do we have reason to believe that the day of Christ, the day of the Son of Man, begins with his coming?

Let’s compare verses from Matthew and Luke. Matthew 24:27 for as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west, so shall also the coming presence of the Son of Man be and Luke 17:24 for as the lightning that lights out of one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of Man be in his day.

From these verses we see that the presence of the Son of man.

And the day of the Son of man is the same thing as shown here by the red color presence of the Son of Man and the and the day of Son of Man is the same thing as is shown by the brown color which Matthew mentioned in verse in chapter 2427 and Luke mentions in chapter 1724. Both of them use the same words, but the Matthew says, this shall be the presence of the Son of Man and Luke says, that all this will be in the day of Son of Man.

The next.

How can we reconcile the day of the Lord with the day of Christ, the day of the Son of Man?

The apostle Paul, seeking to explain the matter of the day day of the Lord to the brethren in Thessalonica, wrote in 2 Thessalonica 2:1:2 now we beseech you, brethren, touching the presence of our Lord Jesus, and our gathering together unto him to the end, that you be not quickly shaken from from your mind, nor yet be troubled either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle, as from mass, the day of the Lord is come this translation rvic it is evident that when speaking of the day of the Lord, the apostle meant the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, the day of his presence, when the church was to be gathered to him.

In confirmation that the day of Christ will come like a thief in the night.

When we read second Peter 3, 10, we have the words of the apostle Paul in first Thessalonians 5:1, 2, 4 but of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes at the thief in the night but you brethren are not in darkness, that they should overtake you as a thief that these verses refer to the Lord Jesus Christ, as evident from the preceding verses, 1st Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 15 and 16 for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and man unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. So we see that the day of Christ day of the Lord is the day of the Lord Jesus Christ is the time of his presence.

So let’s return to the second Peter. When we compare second Peter verse 10 and 12, we see that events of the day of the Lord Christ and the event of the day of God are one and the same. As we read in these verses, they mention the same events during the day of the Lord Christ when we put the Christ except instead of the Word and the event of the day of God. From the verse 12.

Therefore the day of the Lord God Jehovah and the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, the day of his presence, are the one and the same.

We see this from second Peter when we put Jehovah instead of Lord and then put Christ inside the Lord, we see that the events are the same.

We see the 1000th day of the Lord.

What does this mean? In the Old Testament it is consistently stated that the Lord God Jehovah performs all things with the exception of few passages where there is a vague mention of another word.

Thus in the New Testament we learn that everything the Father according to the Old Testament was to accomplish he entrusted to his glorified Son, whom he made heir of all things. From this we learned then the author and overseer of the events of the day of the Lord the Father and the executor is the Son.

The First Point five the first part of this day is called the day of rest.

This is mentioned in the verses of the Book of Revelation, chapter 6, verses 15 through 17 fall over us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne from the wrath of the lamp for the great day of the wrath is come and who is able to stand Translation rvic Look. The Day of the Wrath the phrase the great days of their wrath indicate that the time in which we live it both the day of the Lord Jehovah and the day of the Lord Jesus Christ, the typical lamb, the day of the Wrath both Even though in King James Version it’s written of head rest, the proper translation is the day of their wrath both.

So let’s have some conclusion.

I believe that as you listen to these scriptures and conclusions, numerous passages of Scripture that speak of these events come to your mind.

The time of the Lord’s second presence is a special time in which all prophecies are to be finally fulfilled.

The Lord Jehovah intends through his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to restore his kingdom on our earth. Brethren, we see dark clouds gathering over the world more and more, and when all the vials of wrath which fill up God’s wrath are fully poured out, his representative, the Lord Jesus Christ, will scatter these clouds of trouble like the sun of righteousness, and flood the whole earth with the light of knowledge of God and His great love.

Let’s read some verses. The people that worked in darkness have seen a great light.

They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them have the light shined. Isaiah 9:1 we understand this verse was fulfilled during the first presence of our Lord, but it this so vivid when we use it to the second presence of our Lord, especially to the time of the glorious reign of our Lord.

He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away terrors from off all faces, and the rebuke of its people shall take away from all the earth. For the Lord hath spoken it, and it shall be said in that day. Lord, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the Lord.

We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isaiah 25:8 9 When we read these verses, the Scriptures in Old Testament, we see the word Lord Jehovah. But we know that all this work is to be done by our Lord Jesus Christ during that day. This is the Lord.

We have waited for him, our God, Which we may use to our Lord Christ, but especially first of all to our Heavenly Father, our God. So present.

May these creatures be our inspiration as we reflect on the purpose of our consecration to bring light and salvation to all people. Amen.
