If Religion and Politics Become One, Both Are Destroyed (Constitution Article 20 Sections 1, 2)
The law of heaven is all the books of the Bible, and the law of the earth is the Compendium of Laws. While there are many people who master the law of the earth, there isn’t even one person from this world who masters the law of heaven.
In the Bible, just as there are mere countries of the world, there have been the era of Adam, the era of Noah, the era of Moses, and the era of Jesus. Yet, spiritual and physical genealogy and history have continued on.
Prophecies are prophecies that will be fulfilled in the future. Because these prophecies are God’s secrets that will be fulfilled, even if one has seen them or read them, no one has known their meaning. Why make promises that are to be fulfilled into secrets? The reason is because the enemy—the devil, who doesn't belong to God—exists, and so, it was to hide the secrets of the kingdom of heaven from them. Parables, which are prophecies of these secrets, are hidden using the figurative language until they are fulfilled at the appointed time. When they are fulfilled, the actual entities of the parables appear.
The New Testament is a promise of a new thing. This is the new covenant. What did the new covenant promise? The new heaven and new earth. This means that the current era comes to an end and a new era opens. It said in Rv 6 that heaven and earth pass away, and that the sun, moon and the stars also pass away. Everything passes away, and all things are made new.
Heaven, earth, the sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers, grass, trees, and even people are new things. [God] brings the former world of sin and evil to an end and creates a new heaven, a new earth, and new people. What kind of people are the people of this time? Why do [you] ask? Because [you] don’t want to die? Listen up. The people who will enter the new kingdom of the new era are those who have been born of God’s seed.
