Just as the Old Testament book of Genesis begins with creation,
where humans live in the presence of their Lord, so the New
Testament book of Revelation ends with an even more glorious new
creation where all of the redeemed dwell with the Lord and his
Christ. The historical development between the beginning and the
end is crucial, for the journey from Eden to the new Jerusalem
proceeds through the land promised to Abraham. The Promised Land is
the place where God's people will once again live under his
lordship and experience his blessed presence. In this stimulating
study from the New Studies in Biblical Theology series, Oren Martin
demonstrates how, within the redemptive-historical framework of
God's unfolding plan, the land promise advances the place of the
kingdom that was lost in Eden. This promise also serves as a type
throughout Israel's history that anticipates the even greater land,
prepared for all of God's people, that will result from the person
and work of Christ and that will be enjoyed in the new creation for
eternity. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works
comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts
to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series
is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to
edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way
ahead.
