I really like the hopeful flavor in this reading, in the hymn especially. The themes center around the idea that the Lord will becoming to lead his people and bring the truth to everyone. The faithful people will follow him and help to spread his word. I really like the line in the hymn that says "truth's banner is unfurled. Ye nations now look up, it waves to all the world." It connotates that the truth will be sent to everyone, barring none. We will all receive a message of light and hope.
Messengers will go out to spread the news around the world and all the nations will be brought to Zion to dwell together in peace. This is already currently happening with missionary work, we are able to spread the light of the gospel to many nations through that program.
