What does Luke 1:75 indicate about the nature of the coming government?

Les explains that Luke 1:75, which speaks of serving God in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life, indicates this government will not be part and parcel of the world system. It will be a heavenly government, ruled by the God of heaven, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. This contrasts with the fear of enemies and the desire for deliverance and peace that Zacharias and Israel expected from the covenant. Les points out that Zacharias could see it was coming, just around the corner. Then verse 76 identifies John the Baptist as the prophet of the highest, who would go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways.
