Paradise Lost: Hope and Redmption

When looking at hope and redemption through a Christian world view, one should ask a few questions: What is the answer to the human struggle? How are we doing? Where will we continually look for hope?

With loss of Eden, till one greater man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat, [ 4-5 ].

Among the Nations round, and durst abide
Jehovah thundring out of Sion, thron'd
Between the cheribum. [385-387]

Were always downward bent, admiring more
The riches of Heav'ns pavement, trod'n Gold,
Then aught divine or holy else enjoy'd
In vision beatific: [681-684]

Of once they hear that voyce, thir liveliest pledge
Of hope in fears and dangers, heard so oft
In worst extreams, and on the perilous edge [274-276]
