First, you should understand what my EDIT referred to. It was in reference to my last sentence, in the brackets (of the previous post), and that had to do with the wording in Verse 21, where it says, "...having offered [aorist participle active] the son of him upon the altar."
Now, if I said a sentence using the phrase "having brushed his teeth," would you automatically assume it is speaking of the moment in his babyhood [distant past] when his first tooth poked through? or at some later point? and... "having brushed" means, after he has done even that, right? (not before he has even brushed his teeth, in a certain context, right?)
Perhaps this can be an initial help to you, in understanding the perspective I presented. May God shed His illumination on the subject, to the readers. God bless the reading of His Word.

The gift of God is only to those who believe Him, that He can transform them into saints
of the Kingdom.
"Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
Isaiah 6:5-7
We must be changed the sin within burnt away.
Isaiah though he was a man of God, a prophet still he needed cleansing.

praise before His throne. Some are quiet, some loud, some appreciate ceremonies, others guitar,
others organs and hymns. When we meet Him face to face, then our song will never end, Amen.

Even after the reformation, the lutherans came out with their own catechism and augsburg confession which condemns a bunch of stuff modern day protestant believe, like premillennialism.
That last line you wrote...there's a scripture that says the very same thing. The kingdom of heaven is like a tree that grows up and the birds come and lodge in the branches.
We sometimes read this as a good thing...until we look at the concordance. Was posting from memory.
It's the same thing with a move of God on earth. Demons are drawn.
