How do the earthly promises and the heavenly promises of the Church come together under Christ?

The earthly promises and the heavenly promises of the Church are amalgamated and consummated under one umbrella of Christ in the final dispensation, the final thousand years.

Les teaches that the earthly promises are reconstructed so they can be amalgamated with the heavenly promises of the Church. This consummation occurs in the final dispensation, or the final thousand years, when all things are finally brought together under one umbrella of Christ. The two sets of promises are not mixed; they still maintain their separate entities, but they come under the headship of Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He connects this to Isaiah chapter 2, verse 2, which speaks of the last days, that final thousand years, when the mountain, or kingdom, of the Lord's house is established in the top of the mountains. In Old Testament symbolism a mountain is a kingdom, so His kingdom will be above all other kingdoms and exalted above the hills. Under His rule He will establish other smaller kingdoms among the Gentile nations, and all nations shall flow into it because Jerusalem, the capital of this earthly kingdom, will be the center of the whole world's activity.
