15. Thus, when Christ’s millennial reign begins, what salvation will have been wrought on the earth, and what “cup” will God’s loyal ones take up?

¹⁵ Thus when the glorious thousand years of Messiah’s reign over all the earth are ready to begin, a “grand salvation” will indeed have been wrought by God for all his loyal ones on earth. Just think of it! For these loyal ones there has come a good riddance of all the wicked ones on earth and in the invisible realm about the earth. There can now follow a preservation of such loyal ones all during the thousand years of God’s Messianic kingdom, the loyal ones of the “great crowd” being the ones that will forever keep living upon the cleansed earth. In appreciation of this the preserved loyal ones should feel moved to say what the psalmist said: “What shall I repay to Jehovah for all his benefits to me?

17. What will be done about any “vows” that Jehovah’s loyal ones may have made during the time of danger to their lives?

¹⁷ Have they any dues to pay Him? That is, during the time that their souls were in danger and death seemed imminent, did they make any vows, any solemn promises to Jehovah God through Jesus Christ? If they did so in their desire for divine deliverance, then such “vows” they will dutifully and lovingly pay to Jehovah who acted in harmony with their vows and preserved them for uninterrupted life on earth. At Jehovah’s spiritual temple they will do so, inasmuch as their doing what they vowed to do will be “in front of all his people.”
