Incredibly, God’s huge, eternal purpose is to call a redeemed people to be with him in glory. And as God has always intended believers to anticipate this, he will surely have given clues and hints of this heavenly future, not just in the New Testament, but from the very start!
The Old Testament abounds with enchanting hints and glimpses of the magnificence of heaven. In this books this is traced, starting from the Garden of Eden, through to the patriarchs, the
Promised Land, the tabernacle and temple, the city of David, the Psalms, Solomon’s kingdom and finally, the Major and Minor Prophets. The theme of heaven, with here and now applications, fired the minds of the patriarchs, the psalmists and the prophets. May it captivate our minds and hearts too!
