| I just remembered, the Reformed church's leading amillennial commentator, G. K. Beale, holds to the same view as NT Wright.
Beale defines heaven as where God, or God in Christ as we see in the NT, is. The Temple in the Old Testament was the place where heaven met earth. Jesus is the New Temple and explicitly identifies his body with the true temple. Jesus bridges heaven and earth. He is Jacob's Ladder. |
