Earth and heaven all agree
But have not Christians come to the heavenly Jerusalem, where nothing defiled can enter? Hebrews 12:22. Yes, and to an innumerable company of angels, and to the spirits of just people made perfect. That is:
Earth and heaven all agree, all his one great family.
And they are likewise holy and undefiled while they walk after the Spirit, although they know that another principle is in them, and that these two are contrary to each other.

6. “But are not Christians come to the heavenly Jerusalem, where nothing defiled can enter?” Heb. xii. 22. Yes; and to an innumerable company of angels, and to the spirits of just men made perfect: that is,
Earth and heaven all agree; All his one great family.
And they are likewise holy and undefiled, while they walk after the Spirit: although sensible, there is another principle in them, and that these are contrary to each other.
