Overview

This small but impactful volume from Reformed scholar A. W. Pink discusses the enigmatic phrase “kingdom of heaven.” Pink argues that—similarly to “under the sun” in Ecclesiastes and “truly, truly” in John—“the kingdom of heaven” is a key to unlocking themes in Matthew and the other Synoptic Gospels.

“When, therefore, the Baptist announced the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ as ‘at hand’ he had no regard to a Heavenly Kingdom, that is a Kingdom the territory of of which was in Heaven, but, instead, he referred to a Kingdom which was to be set up on earth, but which should be governed from Heaven. In other words, this expression, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven,’ as used by John and our Lord (at the beginning of His ministry) was the exact equivalent of the Old Testament phrase, ‘The heavens do rule’ (see Dan. 4:26).” (Page 5)

“why, in short, in this dispensation the Church has superseded the Israelitish theocracy.” (Page 2)

“The preaching of John the Baptist failed to bring about the Nation’s ‘repentance” (Page 7)

“The Kingdom of God, as administered in Israel of old, whether in the immediate theocracy or by Saul, or David and his sons, was not the ‘Kingdom of Heaven,’” (Page 4)

“confirm the promises made unto the fathers, and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy’” (Page 1)
