Orthodox Christian ☦ Belief for the Redemption of Not Only Mankind But Also of Animals:
Zechariah 2:5-9Orthodox Study Bible, trans. from the Septuagint (LXX)
"And I looked up, and behold, a man, and in his hand was a measuring line. And I said to him, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem to see its width and its length." And behold, the angel who was speaking to me stood up, and another angel went to meet him. And he spoke to him, saying, "Run and speak to that young man saying: Jerusalem shall be fruitfully inhabited by reason of the multitude of men and livestock in the midst of her. 'And I will be for her a wall of fire all around', says the Lord, 'and I will be in glory in the midst of her', says the Lord."
"All things are near to God." - Russian Proverb
