All areas of thought and life is a phrase that includes all existing and conceivable building blocks or elements that comprise a society. Revelation 21:26 may be understood to speak of all areas of thought and life in terms of the “the glory and the honor of the nations” that the kings of earth bring into the City of God. Practically, this involves conforming areas of thought and life to the pattern of revelation revealed in creation, Scripture and the Spirit and thus bringing all things in heaven and on earth into unity with Christ.
