UC = universal church (Matthew 16:18)
LC = local church (Matthew 18:17)
The UC is the spiritual reality of the Body of Christ.
The LC's are the practicality of the UC.
There is only one UC in the universe. When the UC comes in contact with the earth in a given city, a LC comes into existence as a representation, or miniature of the UC, whose essence is always one and will remain one.
Without LC's, the UC would have no practicality. Without the UC, a LC would have no reality.
Since a LC is a representation of the UC, she should be identical to all the other LC's in essence (gold), expression (lampstand) and function (shining).
Since a LC is a miniature of the UC, she should provide her members an entrance into the UC and help them enjoy the reality of the Body.
