God will redeem all things, and with that, there are future and present implications: our future one of hope and restoration when were God will dwell with us. But until the, there are present implications - we are to be a people who live in light of the future that will one day be ours. A people who seek to see Heaven touch Earth in our time, for cultural renewal and to see the advancement of the Gospel on earth.
