THE DAYS OF HEAVEN The days of heaven are peaceful days, Still as yon glassy sea; So calm, so still in God, our days, As the days of heaven would be. The days of heaven are holy days, From sin forever free Two little words are found in the Greek version here. They are translated "_ton kairon_" in the revised version, "Buying up for yourselves the opportunity." The two words _ton kairon_ mean, literally, the opportunity. They do not refer to time in general, but to a special point of time, a juncture, a crisis, a moment full of possibilities and quickly passing by, which we must seize and make the best of before it has passed away.

This devotional draws on the teachings in Randy Alcorn's best-selling book Heaven.
In this acclaimed classic, Albert Benjamin Simpson expresses a Bible-inspired thought and prayer for every single day of the year. A master theologian and lifelong preacher, A. B. Simpson's knowledge of the Bible was accumulated over decades of study and contemplation. Beginning his career as a young pastor in Kentucky, Simpson demonstrated a keen and literate capacity for the Christian doctrine and ancient lore from an early age. He would mature to become a well-respected author and preacher, traversing several states to deliver talks on the Gospels, the life of Christ, and other spiritual topics. Days of Heaven Upon Earth is organized into daily reflections, each of which comprise a few paragraphs. All begin with a quotation of scripture, which serves to set the tone and context of Simpson's thoughts. Days coinciding with important Christian events such as Christmas, Lent and Easter are themed accordingly, giving the reader something be mindful about as each day passes. This classic book is perfect for regular daily reference. Christians seeking to deepen their faith and affinity with God might set a New Years Resolution to consult this book upon waking each morning, or simply begin from the day they receive the book. Regardless of how this superb book is digested, A. B. Simpson's devotional encouragement has and will continue to help and counsel Christians for generations.

The future hope of heaven is pulled into the here-and-now in this illuminating description of the kingdom of God. Popular teacher and author R. Alan Streett exposes half-truths about the kingdom that many believers have unwittingly accepted. He contrasts these with the testimony of Scripture: Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of God on the earth—it has already begun. As ambassadors of the kingdom, we are to fulfill our responsibilities and enjoy its benefits here and now. Salvation does not culminate with the soul escaping the body and living forever in heaven. Our bodies will eventually be transformed, and we will live with God on a restored earth. The church is like an embassy of heaven in a foreign country. In their life together, believers demonstrate kingdom realities to the world. Readers will find hope and direction in this fresh presentation of the historic teaching on the kingdom.
Most of A.B. Simpson's many books are sermons preached to large, enthusiastic audiences, stenographically recorded, lightly edited and pressed into print. Days of Heaven on Earth is different. In response to repeated requests for a daily devotional, Simpson himself prepared this book, selecting appropriate passages from his various books, pamphlets and sermons. This spiritual treasure house of thought-provoking meditations will continue to be valuable wherever wise words are needed for comfort and inspiration.
