In any event, it speaks of
things in heaven being "reconciled to God".

The earthly Tabernacle was duplicated after the pattern of the Eternal Tabernacle:
which had to have been established
“…before the foundation of the world.” That is,
on the 1st day of creation when God said,
“…Let there be light.”
The earthly tabernacle, known as the tabernacle in the wilderness, needed to be
purified [temporarily] by blood: it was by the blood of the purest sacrifice available:
without blemish. This would satisfy the atonement of sin for a year.
To eternally establish the atonement for sin, the Eternal Tabernacle also has
to be consecrated by blood: “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by
his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.” So you see that OUR redemption was not actually fulfilled
at the cross, but the sacrifice had to be accepted at the Supreme Court of
Eternity! The proof that the sacrifice was acceptable is the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus: the proof that the blood was accepted, is that Jesus descended
and abode with the disciple, and that the Holy Spirit was imparted (and being
imparted still) to those who believe and obey the gospel that saves.
Reconciliation of Eternity and earth means Jesus has brought complete harmony
and conformity of both to the Father.
