NSBT 34: Bound for the Promised Land

The Land Promise in God's Redemptive Plan.

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, 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 and 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. (= 9780830826353)

Martin ... argues that the land promises constitute part of a trajectory " that begins with the loss of 'land' at the expulsion from Eden and ends,
finally, in the new heaven and the new earth. The resulting synthesis of the
land promises, kingdom promises and eschatology is thought-provoking and
sometimes moving - D.A. Carson"
