The Everlasting Covenant
No Earthly Model
Nothing among earthly kingdoms or associations of whatever kind can serve as a model for the true theocracy, God’s church and kingdom; nor can the acts of human organizations be taken as precedents. God’s kingdom is unique in every particular, depending on none of the things upon which human governments depend for the maintenance of unity, and yet so marvelous an exhibition of order and harmony and power, that it astonishes all.
