A great encouragement to God's people's hopes and faith for it shows how entirely He knows the outcome of all circumstances and how completely all results lie in His hand and His purposes.

We are called not only to know the Lord but to walk with Him and to live a life that reflects and represents God to the world. As image bearers, we have been created to be like God, to be imitators, of our Father in heaven. In Christ, we have been called and adopted into God's family. As God's children, we are called to show our love for God and others in the same way God loves us. To be imitators of God is to be imitators of Christ.

It is not often easy to read God’s providence, but faith grasps that "God causes all things to work together for good to those whose love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). Though the rulers of the world were not watching out for the people of God, the Angel of the Lord was. That is the truth the vision is designed to emphasize. Here we learn of the Mediator’s intercessory prayer and its answer.
