"The LORD appeared to Abram and said: To your descendants I will
give this land. So Abram built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to
him" (Genesis 12: 7)
The land of Canaan promised to Abraham by God is a type and
shadow of heaven. Jesus said, “The
Kingdom of God is among you.” It means
that for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the Kingdom
of God is something that is already here and now. For the Kingdom of God means the complete
reign of God in a person. When this
dominion takes place in a soul, the person experiences the gifts of the Holy
Spirit of which the chief is peace or shalom.
The fullness of the Kingdom of God is something that is there and then. The
Kingdom of God will come in the end when the elect will enjoy the eschatological
Banquet of the Lamb. “Blessed are those
who are invited in the wedding of the Lamb.”
