This is my favorite, developed over a dozen or more years. It is by far the most significant and it continues to inspire me. I had to write this because all the books on heaven that I've seen are essentially catalogs of scripture that leave major questions unanswered or answered by a speculation that falls short of verifying how well it works with other things.
By the way, this book is strict about the Bible; it uses nothing from popular visions of heaven that have no scriptural basis. A story is a means of uncovering and facing questions about life, and it must supply reasonable answers or it cannot go on without frustrating the reader. This book is like a mathematical model that integrates data points. While respecting what is given, it predicts what the intervals may look like. This a book that submits answers to a great number of questions. These are questions that you have wondered about if you have thought much about heaven. The big one is: How are heaven and earth integrated when Christ reigns on earth? This gets answered not by a few words and a new miracle but by a few chapters and an old miracle from the Bible. How will the kingdom get started? At or around the time that King Jesus appears in Jerusalem the enemy will have to be gotten out. My approach to such questions goes beyond the wave of the hand. The book opens with an answer that uses the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 14: Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. This interpretation is suggested in my commentary on Revelation and fully fleshed out here. The second chapter gets the temple and the city built, using information found in the final chapters of Ezekiel. So these initial questions are answered simply by applying the Bible literally. This is not to imply that no other arrangements are possible. The book merely offers a solution in which the earth and sky and sea as we know them can remain and coexist with a new heaven. Two important chapters near the end of the book, The Big Picture and Answers to Questions can be consumed independently of the story line. The same information is available at the dayandhour web site.Also from
