The basic numbers in New Jerusalem are the numbers twelve and one... There is one God, one city, one throne, one street, one river, and one tree of life... This is not my concept; it is Paul's concept in Ephesians 4:3-6, where he speaks of one Body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father. We have just one God, one throne, one administration, one authority, one flow, one way, and one tree.

No it is not Paul's concept. It is a twist on what Paul said which had absolutely nothing to do with what Witness Lee is saying in order to get people to think that Paul is approving and lending his own signature to what WL is saying. See the cleverness here. It begins with asserting that this is Paul's concept then eases the believer into WL concepts by using agreeable terms such as one God, one throne. Once he gets you to this point he introduces his own ministry as the one flow, one way and one tree. And himself as the one authority. Gottcha!
