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!
Accordingly, in this book it is demonstrated that, far from being a rare occurrence, the Old Testament positively abounds with enchanting
hints and glimpses of the magnificence of heaven. 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!
