God, Heaven, and Har Magedon: A Covenantal Tale of Cosmos and Telos
Overview
Meredith Kline provides a primer in covenant theology—taking the gist of some of his previous biblio-theological studies and making them accessible to a wider readership. Kline notes, “The major move in this democratic direction was to enliven the analysis of the covenants by introducing the series of covenant administrations within the intriguing story line of Har Magedon, the mountain of God. Extending as it does from creation to consummation, the tale of Har Magedon readily accommodates the total history of the covenants . . . . If only in condensed, digest fashion the present work is thus a comprehensive biblio-theological survey of the kingdom of God from Eden to the New Jerusalem.”

Top Highlights
“Heaven, it would seem, is not remote from us but present right here, even though unseen. Also, there does not appear to be anything in Scripture that would contradict the assumption that the invisible heaven is coextensive with the visible cosmos in its entirety.” (Page 4)
“Glory-Spirit. For the Spirit is the breath of life (Gen 2:7; John 20:22) and hence the picture that emerges is that of heaven dwellers, those in the Spirit-atmosphere, breathing continually afresh the breath of life. That is the secret of immortality.” (Page 9)
“The Shekinah cloud is the likeness or copy, a projection of the archetypal Glory into this world in a form accommodated to mortals. The Glory-Presence is the original, and it is this Glory epiphany that is the paramount, definitive, quintessential feature of heaven.” (Page 6)
“Heaven is a holy location and it contains, indeed it consists in, sacred architecture. It is a Glory-temple-city.” (Page 4)
“The heaven the Bible tells us about is a part of creation. This Glory-dimensioned realm does not belong to the eternity of God before and apart from the created cosmos. Wherever we find it in the Scriptures, heaven is a place where God is present within creation, a place where he is seen in relation to his creatures, revealed to them in epiphanic Glory, enthroned among them as their Shepherd-Sovereign. And belonging to the creation as it does, heaven, though it will have no end, did have a beginning.” (Page 10)
