And WL panned it because it didn't display "God's NT economy". On the contrary, it may display for us the clearest framework of God's economy, both in source, in exercise, and in fulfillment (i.e. 'consummation').

I remember so many times listening to Lee, either live or by video, provide these long run-on sentences replete with flowery descriptions of God's New Testament Economy "consummating in the New Jerusalem." Now I am reminded of Paul's words to the Corinthians, "And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void."
