Once again, you lite upon a fortune cookie and make rather strong declarations. This chapter says a lot. And if we assume that God is not going to do his own ministry within the inner courts, then there will surely have to be some humans to do it.
But the chapter, in its entirety, does not suggest that God
needs anything. Actually, it is man that needs. But even if you can elsewhere find such a need (in those terms) it does not create a "first" and "second," which was the main thrust of Nee's booklet. It would seem that, based on the sheer number constantly serving in the outer courts, that man's need was far greater. He needed (and still needs) a sacrifice for his sin. But, once again, this passage does not actually say anything about it in terms of need.
It is silent on
need.
You may be able to go somewhere else and find a reference to need. But it is not here. Yet you say "makes it very clear."
