Meaning

The First Response says that the guide will accompany the recipients until completion and revelation, the lion's taking possession of the kingdom, and the world's course reaching its goal. The lion is not given a personal name, territory, or independently datable event in this sentence. Its function is terminal and expansive: guidance extends beyond the discovery of treasure toward an encompassing fulfilment. This occurrence should not be equated without evidence with the Summary's flying lion, which explains Mercury's swallowing power, or with every political or prophetic lion found outside the supplied text.
