In the New Testament, God would dwell within His servants as well as come down upon them. ‘God with us - Immanuel’ (Mt 1:23) was a new concept. In the Old Testament, God announces that His Son was coming to earth, not just to save the world from sin but to bring a new government (civil religious) to the planet.
Today, God’s government gets released through Christ’ ‘kings and priests. The Church, Ekklesia, the governing body, legislate His plans and purposes ‘here on earth.’ It’s time to release the counsel of peace between the two offices of kings and priests.
