What does 'in holiness and righteousness before him' indicate about the nature of the promised government?
It indicates the promised 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 Lord of lords, characterized by holiness and righteousness.
Les teaches that the phrase “in holiness and righteousness before him” points to a government that is not part and parcel of the world system. It is a heavenly government ruled by the God of heaven, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Zacharias could see that this promised deliverance was coming, bringing the peace and tranquility the covenant promised, so Israel might serve Him without fear after being delivered from the hand of their enemies.

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
