Christ assured the angels that by His death He would ransom many, and would destroy him who had the power of death. He would recover the kingdom which man had lost by transgression, and the redeemed were to inherit it with Him, and dwell therein forever. Sin and sinners would be blotted out, nevermore to disturb the peace of heaven or earth. He bade the angelic host to be in accord with the plan that His Father had accepted, and rejoice that, through His death, fallen man could be reconciled to God.

Kristus forsikrede englene, at han ved sin død ville løskøbe mange og fælde ham, der havde dødens magt. Han ville genoprette det herredømme, som menneskene havde mistet ved deres overtrædelse, og de forløste skulle arve det sammen med ham og besidde det for evigt. Synd og syndere ville blive udslettet for aldrig mere at forstyrre Himmelens eller jordens fred. Han bad englehæren gå ind for den plan, hans Fader havde antaget, og glæde sig over, at faldne mennesker kunne blive forligt med Gud ved hans død.
