PROCLAIMING. The first was simply announcing God’s new move forward in human history. In and through the person of Jesus himself, the government, or “kingdom” of God from the heavens, was now available to every one. Heaven, we have seen, is right now, right here, around our bodies, hovering beside our heads—“in Him we live and move and have our being.” Eternity is not something waiting to happen, something that will commence later. It is now here. Time runs its course within eternity.
